Im going to keep this one a bit brief as no one needs to be told how good this whisky is, and its not available anymore anyway.
Non chill-filtered, natural colour. This bottle is from travel retail, there was a bourbon cask available aswell, but I went for this one.
Colour
Polished Oak
Nose
You do get a hint of the spirit but its mostly dunnage warehouse, old leather, cinnamon, nut meg, oak.
Palate
Brown sugar, piles of stewed red fruits, icing sugar, bitter toffee, creamy fudge, big on the coffee and milk choclate.
Finish
Medium-ish in length. Coffee flavourd chocolate
Overall
This is wonderful whisky, and what you get on the nose actually does smell like their warehouses! I write this, slightly disappointed that the powers that be have decided to change things, now this whisky is not available. Biggest cork in the industry? What more can you say, its good but its gone!
Score
9 out of A-
You can not buy it anymore, auction prices are now to expensive. A new core range is not always a good thing!
