The taste evolves to bitter orange rind covered in dark chocolate, with an undercurrent of zesty nutmeg. I had originally marked this as a five when I tasted it in a bar at the start of the year, but I didn’t quite taste perfection when I opened a bottle at home last night. The middle is a little frustrating: some sips deliver caramel, others feel a little thin. Nevertheless, it’s a classy whisky that will be missed and I’m happy to have stashed away a couple of bottles after Pulteney announced its discontinuation.
