Original Tasting Notes: Nose: Bursting with big juicy
sweet orange flavours combined with rich sherry sweetness and freshly
baked moist gingerbread notes. The fruity flavours are very reminiscent
of fruit drop boiled sweets
Palate: Perfectly
balanced, mouthwatering, fills the mouth with sweet fruity flavours
echoing the nose. Allied with these fruity orange and peach flavours is a
wonderful liquorice and aniseed experience followed by a cinnamon
ginger tang
Finish: Incredibly long and sweet
Craft facts:
The 1973 Cellar Collection is a rare style of whisky thanks to
its age and cask profile: a single ex-sherry butt and two refilled
American oak hogsheads have been hand-selected as the absolute zenith of
the stock available from that vintage and the result is a rich,
sherried expression.
