My Tasting Notes:
Colour: Medium amber
Nose: Fruit cake, raisins, waxed leather, dusty wood, toffee, hints of toasted nuts and pepper.
Palate: Raisins, dried figs, hints of oxtail soup, caramelized almonds, pepper and chili.
Finish: Medium long, fruity and spicy.
Overall: The nose is excellent and tells of its old age, but the spices on the palate are a little too strong and the finish is a little too short for a truly remarkable whisky.
Rating: 86/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$
