Tasting Notes
Colour
mahogany
air Nose
the kind of sherry cask that G&M seemed to specialise in filling during this era, very punchy and hugely on dry earthiness, cured game meats, freshly brewed black coffee and some very fine bitter dark chocolate. There are fruits as well but they take some time to show, eventually damson jam, plums, prunes and fig all come through and the overall profile becomes juicier and a little more generous with the sweetness. Detailed, powerful but excellent sherry! With water: more flowers, preserved dark fruits, leather and rather rustic earthy qualities. Still this subtle meatiness too
restaurant Palate
once again this is huge whisky, and very powerful, but not overpowering. A lot of bitter herbal extracts, chocolate liqueur, natural tar and fir resins with walnut wine, treacle and some very old Grande Champagne Cognac. Truly, one for sherry fanatics! With water: wonderful development, incorporating many subtle spices, natural tar and precious hardwood resins. Very peppery and warming too. A rather monolithic dram!
timer Finish
very long, peppery, full of wood spices, spiced dark fruits, aged cognac impressions once again and more walnut and chocolate characteristics in the aftertaste
