Nose : Distinctly confident liquorice-bourbon notes with near perect perfect bitter-sweat balance; burnt honeycomb and toffee also abound

Taste : Outstanding richness and sheen to the enormous barley-oak sweetness; again there is a big bourbony cut to the cloth with all the liquirice and molassed sugar normally associates; but the barley adds that extra dimension

Finish : Long, wonderfully layered oak offering variations of a sweet dry theme; a touch silky with some cream toffee at the death
