Nose On the nose, the high ester notes from the rum cask influence present an enticing and lively invitation. This is quickly followed by the rich fruitiness of ripe bananas, mixed spice, and notes of liquorice.
Palate Rich and smooth sweet fruit flavours predominate, and then the dark spiciness of black treacle, caramelised pineapple, cinnamon, and a hint of liquorice.
Finish The spicy influence of the oak lingers, alongside the dark molasses rum influence. A supremely rounded mouthfeel and 50 years of maturation and adventure linger in the memory.
