Nose The nose opens in an explosion of toffee and stewing Bramley apples leading to warming notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and cocoa powder.
Palate The mouth-feel is gloriously syrupy with a velvety texture and sweet flavours of acacia honey and butterscotch leading to tingling mixed spice and stem ginger.
Finish The finish is long with notes of mead, nectar and melted 85% cocoa dark chocolate with the vaguest hint of cumin on the tail.
Overall This thirty year old remains fresh whilst possessing all the complexity you could want from a malt of this age, delicious.
