[54.5%・13 Years Old・ Distilled in 1995・Bottled in 2009・Official Bottling・Cask No. 4556・ Single Cask Release of 660 Bottles]
Nose:
Smoked biltong, Chinese style jujubes, somewhat woody with notes of cream powder and peanut brittle.
Palate & Finish:
Oily and rather obviously Sherried, Chinese style jujube sweet soup with a herbal and chocolate-y surrounding.
Dry herbal notes and freeze dried blackcurrants.
Thoughts:
It’s rather much, if one is being rational. The elements are fundamentally sound and appealing but perhaps the principle is to not push so hard.
