Nose Quince cheese, black fruit and dark caramel combine initially. Jamaican ginger cake, antique leather and sweet leaf mulch rise underneath with brown sugar and Earl Grey.
Palate Spiced oak, tobacco leaf and more dusty leather combine with black treacle, bramley apple and dried fruit. Bitter smoke wafts through the mid-palate.
Finish Long, resinous and slightly salty.
Overall I’m not saying this comes highly recommended, but I wish I had all the bottles from this cask to myself.
