Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Colour: Rich amber.
Nose: An unusual, but pleasant, burnt / rubbery note - almost savoury in fact. Think yeast extract, Bovril or Frankfurters on a sweet brioche roll… Nathan's Famous from Coney Island would be proud of this. This is worm tub driven complexity. Opens up further on exposure to air - toasted oak really comes through. Earthy and grassy, with vegetal notes.
Palate: Much sweeter on the palate, as the Madeira cask starts to exert more of an influence. Thick honey, toasted brioche rolls and underlying marzipan, with really lush Demerara sugars and dark toffee. A touch of allspice makes a late appearance. A very interesting dram, with the nose and taste pulling in quite different directions. A big malt; strong, full-bodied and very mouth-coating.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
