Tasting Note

Nose

Astonishingly rich and fresh, full of forest fruits, wild strawberry, raspberry and brambles. Liqueur filled chocolates, vintage leather jacket, old sherry and a tiny touch of aged soy sauce. Quite brilliant and enticing.

Palate

Impressive freshness for an old whisky. Dense and moderately fruity with oaky notes upfront and a background sweetness. Sparkles of spices, including cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. An earthy rancio reminiscent of a wonderful very old cognac.

Finish

Tremendously long and warming, without any excess tannins or dryness. Even more on liqueurs and chocolates. Beautifully complex with dense fruit and balanced spices. A very rewarding, powerful and intense dram.

Limited only 30 bottle.
