Review and Tasting
Sampled on 10/09/2013
Appearance:
Clear, mid to deep golden amber.
Aroma:
Christmas cake, stewed fruit, raisins and sultanas with crushed mint leaves with almond, sandalwood, thyme spice and marzipan. Faint sulphur.
Taste:
Rich honeyed sherry balanced by oaky tannins, coal tar, mocha coffee and Christmasy spice. Fabulously fruity for a malt of this age with orange zest, berries and tropical fruit.
Aftertaste:
Earthy tar, toasty oak and lingering mince pie spice. A most Christmasy of malts.
