This is 100% pot still this time, naturally. Colour: deep gold. Nose: rather gentler than expected, which is typically ‘OB’ with most makes and brands, as if they never wanted to shock anyone too much. Now it is still very typical, full of gherkin brine, gritty olive oil, new rubber, tarmac, and engine oil rather than petrol or diesel. Moderately gentle. With water: drier, more on grasses and teas. Touches of green oak. Mouth (neat): fantastic, very strong, extremely compact and full, very medicinal at first (cough syrup for adults only), then a little more on citrus. There’s also an uncommon sweetness that’s seldom seen at the indies, not sure what it is. Between liquorice allsorts and cinnamon mints. With water: gentler yet, with more fruits (do I really find raspberries?) and really a lot of liquorice. Finish: long, on similar flavours plus a little salt. Notes of bananas. Comments: I suppose, but I’m not sure, that this is tropical aging, which implies that it’s very mature at 12 yo (not very old, only time makes aged spirits old). Mature thus a little gentler indeed.
