Review by Mortlach

Nose

Super dense and rich, with hints of sandalwood and much more of the waxy, earthy, meaty element. This has real elegance and complexity and creates a fascinating, multi-layered, finish. There is an added oiliness which you only get from mature whiskies. Huge, highly complex and contemplative.

Palate

Robust and rich body. Palate clinging. Huge bursts of caramelized apple and dark berries are delivered with a wonderfully rich, mouth coating viscosity, this then develops into dark chocolate coated malted milk balls and honey-dipped fig slices.

Finish

Quite dense. It carries on seamlessly from the progression seen on the palate with liquorice and dried fruit.
