Nose: quite sweet and fruity, with rich baked apple, raisin and also a certain briny salty sea spray quality to it as well. Berries and leather on the second wave of sensation, very rich indeed with a twee hunt of gunpowder.
Palate: nice and rich as well over here. Big raisin and chocolate , with baked apple, a hint of smoke and a desert wine , nuts and grilled red fruit too. Cinnamon and pepper with a touch of cardamom , earth and leather.
Finish : cigar leaf, smoke , raisins and cinnamon .Some clove , dusty.
This, my friends, is a delicious whisky. It’s got age, it’s got a lovely sherry influence, and it’s big, bold, complex, deep and intriguing. And it’s damn tasty. Everything I look for in a whisky. No fancy label, no fancy name, packaging or PR noise. Whisky, as it should be. Highly recommended, and a tad better than the 12 Green edition,in my opinion.If your shop has some , grab it. ASAP. It’s almost gone.
