Tasting Notes
The bountiful nose brimmed with sticky toffee pudding, forest fruits, red berries sautéed in old armagnac, black pepper and playful things including jammy dodgers, polished oak, vanilla shortbread and cassis. Water invited in aromas of apple blossom, fig rolls, golden raisins, granola and bitter cocoa, with some firmer hints of allspice and chai tea. The palate was initially dominated by resinous exotic hardwoods, sticky dark treacle, pears baked in hoisin sauce and fig chutney. This was proving decadent and outrageously quaffable, we agreed. Reduction brought lighter notes of elderflower wine, strawberry jam on brown toast and battenberg cake, plus raspberry ripple ice cream studded with dried banana chips. This whisky was matured for 27 years in a bourbon hogshead before being transferred to a second fill PX sherry hogshead.
