Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

hard to pin down what it is, but it’s irrefutably another level up. More fruity, more honeyed, more waxy, more concentrated and peatier, but in a way that comes across as almost syrupy and textural. Maybe it’s just the extra alcohol helping to carry that sense of weight. In the background many similar impressions of smoked and exotic fruit teas, herbal cough medicines and gentle impressions of TCP, iodine, camphor and seashore freshness

restaurant Palate

yes! Amazing, fat and dense peat smoke, combined with many medicinal inclusions - bandages, gauze, antiseptic, iodine etc - then all sorts of roots, herbs and resinous pine wood. You feel the depth and levels of quality and character skyrocketing as you go back in time with these official 10s. Here it’s the overall fatness and texture of the whisky that is so striking and impressive

timer Finish

long, glowing with dry peat embers, natural tar extracts, pepper, crystallised exotic fruits and honeys and some kind of cask aged mead!
