Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
for a 4th fill butt there is still a fairly impressive residual sherry influence going on here. A rather elegant mix of earthy, leathery, sooty and raisiny notes. Hints of sultana, old cognac, leafy freshness, milk chocolate, cigar boxes, turmeric and a touch of butterscotch sauce. Quite different from the 86s, it’s evidently a much lighter profile and style but still excellent
restaurant Palate
a softer, leafier and more gently waxy profile. Hot cross buns studded with raisins, lemon balm, throat sweets, mint julep, demerara sugar and buttery brown toast. Orange oils and tiger balm emerge as well. Some distant hints of rancio and toffee
timer Finish
Long, earthy, lemony, some subtle herbal notes, more sultanas and camphor
