Tasting Notes
Limited to 1 bottles per member
The neat nose suggested Crème Brûlée, clean sherry, fruits of the forest yoghurt and apple and sultana chutney with a good dose of spice. Water brought out many interesting aromas including cola cubes, madeira cake, candied orange peels, caramelized oatmeal and cinder toffee. A big and charismatic dram so far we though. To taste we initially got butterscotch sweetness, then Guinness cake, raisins, orange Muscat and a firm kick of wood spice. With water it became nuttier, with notes of heather flowers, old school IPA and millionaire shortbread. Previously matured in a bourbon hogshead for 9 years before transfer to a 1st fill oloroso hogshead.
