Pendleton Directors' Reserve 20 Year

Alcohol-forward nose with hint of fruit, unique but not particularly great nose. Remarkably smooth palette, nice gentle fruity sweetness with nice strong plum and grape flavour (in a balanced way). Nice viscosity on the tongue, very clean and virtually no alcohol burn. Little bit of a soft plum, cherry finish. Little bit of wood in the finish, doesn’t dominate, leaves room for other flavors. Fantastic sipper, pick up a bottle before people find out how good it is.
