| Tasting Notes |
| Keith Wood | Glass: Classic Malt
- Colour: Rich dark oak
- Nose: Raisins marinated in furniture polish? Now there's a combination! Then floral coconut milk and after some minutes the fruitinessexpands further and intensifies. After yet more minutes I sense a delightfully fruity creamy coffee, cappuccino anyone?
- Palate: A big fruitiness suggesting raisins, plums and figs with oil of orange and dark chocolate. There's also a hint of that coffee-ness leading towards the finish.
- Finish: Long and rich.
- Overall Impression: Quite amazing with oodles of character. A "Great" in my book. |
