Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
bizarrely bourbony, but fantastic. Varnish, roasted almonds, praline, toasted oak… The sherry's kicking in later. Tobacco, menthol, leaves, and just proper dry sherry. Amontillado? Great cask. With water: a.w.e.s.o.m.e., pretty much in the style of some old sherried Bunnahabhains that were distilled in the 1960s. I'd swear I'm reminded of the Auld Acquaintance at times
restaurant Palate
super. Rich, sweet and spicy, with loads of toffee, butterscotch, Corinth raisins, millionaire shortbread, sticky toffee pudding… With water: herbal teas, chamomile, quite some cinnamon, cigarette tobacco. Something a little drying now. It's almost for the best; it would have been an absolute star without that
timer Finish
rather long, on nougat and black tea, plus some apricot jam. The usual marmalade and walnuts in the aftertaste
