Review and Tasting

Sampled on 03/11/2012

Appearance:

(cask No. 4021) Clear, deep bronze amber with burnished bronze highlights.

Aroma:

Pungent resiny oak, pencil shavings, tobacco and cedar wood. A splash of water reveals toffee apple and clove spice.

Taste:

A huge and hugely rewarding palate with red fruits and pronounced cedar wood and cinnamon spice.

Aftertaste:

Long and slightly herbal with lingering woody sherry and clove spice.
