| TASTING NOTE: A sumptuous amalgam of lightly salted roasted hazelnut shimmering within its own oil. Oloroso bulging with toasted, slightly singed currants, a sliver of kumquat and topped by thick vanilla. Irresistible...almost impossible to fault: the oloroso grandly, almost pompously, leads the way exuding thick Christmas pudding depth; a light muscovado sugar top dressing counters the deeper, lightly salted vanillas which begin to emerge; a very slight sulphury note sullies the tone somewhat, but there is still enough rich vanilla and spotted dick for some enjoyable afters; only an odd cask has dropped this from being a potential award winner to something that is merely magnificent... Score - 93.5 (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2013) |
