Review and Tasting


Sampled on 25/10/2012

Appearance:

(Bottle No. 4991 of 6540, bottled 2008) Clear, coppery amber with bight burnished copper highlights.

Aroma:

Red apple skin, nubuck leather and fresh cut hay with subtle sherry, dried fruit, newly shelled peanuts, dark chocolate and flamed orange zest.

Taste:

Rich yet strangely dry with honey and dry smoke balancing each other. Sweet green apples,deliatly spiced oak and restrained Christmas cake.

Aftertaste:

Red apple skin and lightly spiced oak with faint cigarette ash. Sherry flavours slightly mask the green and apple notes associated with Royal Lochnagar but they are still present.
