Nose Green notes of angelica root and gooseberries followed by single cream and elegant cedar wood tones.
Palate The power of this whisky is felt on the palate as it unleashes a torrent of flavour with burnt sugar and cookie dough chased down with greengages and black pepper.
Finish Angelica root and thyme at first but then become much spicier as the cask strength element takes hold.
Overall With almost thirty years of ageing and an abv in the mid-fifties this whisky would have little excuse to be lacking in flavour or quality, and thankfully it doesn't. This whisky is packed with green fruit, menthol and spice notes - very pleasing.
