Tasting Notes by Malt And Oak
Appearance:?Dark Mahogany. Long and lazy oily legs.

Nose:?Wow. Absolutely beautiful mix of old PX sherry, maraschino cherries, spent matchsticks, raisins, flat cola, rich and moist fruitcake. Theres a very faint twang of ripe banana. Chocolate Digestives, fresh espresso, almonds, sour cherry jam (as I have a jar in the fridge)? The nose is absolutely massive.

Palate:?Oh boy?? Treacle, old thick and sweet sherry, toffee, mocha, dark cherries. Loads and loads of aged flavours. It?s absolutely stonking. There?s also the perfectly balanced rubbery-treacle element that was a stunning characteristic of Batch #11?s cask 1020.

Finish:?Long. Unhurried and just lovely. The slow, sweet bitterness that is followed by waves of herb and spice.? Fabulously lazy in the drying stage. And again, that lovely spent cigar ash and woody bite.

Water adds: More sweetness and an increase in the drying oak-wood on the palate, and more cigar ash on the finish.

Conclusion:?Absolutely fantastic. Another ground-breaking 1990. It?s ticked so many boxes and is an absolute delight to drink.
