Tasting Note

Nose: Toffees at a mahogany table. Quite sweet with both toffee and honeycomb getting us started, but there’s immediate old wood and polish here – quite sharp, quite pronounced. Orange peels, sour lemons and warmed stewed berried are joined by a delicate touch of grassiness. There’s some nuts and biscuits here, both walking a fine line between sweet and savoury. A sprinkle of pepper adds another nice dimension. Remarkably improved in the bottle – whereas before this was both ultra-shy and in no way displaying characteristics of a 30 year old whisky, the situation has changed dramatically – for the better. Fruit, wood and polish notes are all much more pronounced and provide the type of aromas that you’d expect from a malt of this maturity.

Palete: Quite rich and syrupy (wow, where did that come from?!), but still with just a touch of initial rawness. Oranges, acacia honey and toffee provide sweetness that is tempered by earthy malts, polished wood and quite tart lemons and rhubarb. Cask influence here is much greater and indeed there’s quite a dose of bitter wood here alongside cinnamon, pepper and raw stem ginger. Again, quite a transformation from my previous tasting which found this to be incredibly thin on the arrival with no real prominence of any particular flavours.

Finish: Short to medium, some astringency and with bitter spices.
