Tasting Notes
"A befittingly musty nose considering the age, with notes of cloves and allspice. The palate is dry and oaky, with a very soft mouthfeel offering leather, more spice, and a touch of black pepper and smoke. Finish is moderate in length, smooth and entirely without heat, with sweet notes of brown sugar, vanilla and custard finally making an appearance. A quite good dram but a bit soft and one note to be considered truly excellent, perhaps teetering on the boundaries of over-aged."
