Tasting Notes by Malt And Oak
The youngest of the 20th Century bottles in this batch.
Appearance: Red Chestnut. Slow oily legs
Nose: Warm caramel, stewed fruit, freshly opened wine gums, old furniture polish, old fashioned chewy toffee…….this is more like it!……lots of sherry/dessert wine, bread & butter pudding straight of the oven. Lots and lots of lovely thick, rich and decadent aromas going on here.
Palate: Lovely rich oaky sweetness moves over to a very welcomed liquorice sharpness. Then there’s the faintest hint of peppermint – I wasn’t expecting that. The whole mouthfeel is mouth coating and beautifully oily.
Finish: Long and slow. It’s super-long in fact. There’s a lovely gentle spent matchstick element that is lying there with the bitter sweetness. It is so agreeable to the tastebuds.
Water adds: I couldn’t bring myself to add any.
Conclusion: I really, really like this. It’s reminiscent of cask #1020 from batch #11 (and I really, really liked that. Quite a lot.)
