EXTRAS. . .
Tasting Notes:Nose : A strong powerful nose that begins with the aroma of green apples falling to earth onto wet moss and grass. This gives way to a medley of boiled fruit sweets. Despite it's complexity, hints of reaspberries, blackberries and hints of ripe banana emerge. Finally the refined sherry notes of sultanas, fruit cake and rich creamy fudge take over.
Taste : The rich sherry flavours combine with the boiled fruits to give an incredibly powerful yet complex whisky. The original distillery character is still surprising evident despite this whisky's great age.
Finish : A long and consistent finish leaves the freshness of the Granny Smiths apples on the palate. This is a very powerful whisky very well suited to after dinner sipping.
