Review and Tasting


Sampled on 23/01/2016

Appearance:

Clear, deep amber.

Aroma:

Pungent, apple and pear with blackberry and blackcurrant boiled sweets (hard candy), well-done toast, vanilla, spicy oak, toffee and biscuity malt. Red apple notes are amplified with water.

Taste:

Huge, dry, full-bodied palate with rich honey, praline, assertive spice, oak, sherry and dried fruit. Achieve the perfect balance with added water and reveal rich honeyed pear and Christmassy spice.

Aftertaste:

Long spiced oak, orchard fruit and lingering smokiness.

Overall:

A cask strength Highland sherry bomb with generous honeyed orchard fruit and Christmassy spice. Renowned for its value for money.
