"I love the balance on this whisky.
It has aged very gracefully."
John Hansell, Malt Advocate magazine.
Tasting Notes:
APPEARANCE:
Dark, old copper.
NOSE:
Oily, red apples, créme brulee, ripe strawberries and cream. World class!
PALATE:
Layers of ripe bananas, spiced plums, honey and cereal, dries into grapefruit, then soft oak. Complex. Oily mouth feel. It's a joy to open casks after four decades and find such great balance between cask and still.
FINISH:
Long, dry and lingering.
