Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Tasted: Sept 2011
A stunning nose! The aromas are very reminiscent of an old grain whisky, deep, earthy and luscious with seeped dried raisins and citrus rind. Superb complexity, extremely polished with hints of sweet spices, liquorice and oak.
The palate opens with some dense, luscious, sweet dried fruit with hints of nuts, liquorice, oak and mature honey. Very harmonious and complex. Stunning depth with the oak imparting a touch of bitter, peppery spice, however there is more than enough sweetness to balance that bitterness. Superb length and polished finish.
