Nose: Orange marmalade, a whiff of smoke, meaty, smoked venison, cinnamon, bacon, fishermen's rope, resembles the old 12yo white horse white label (rotation 1979), very enjoyable.
Mouth: Full and oily, quite sweet at the start, the sherry gives a beautiful spicy, almost fruitcake like structure and the smokiness kicks in beautifully, very sippable at 54,4%.
Finish: Powerful, spicy, almost like wasabi, long and tongue sticking, lovely and a bit drying. Balance/complexity: Beautiful malt....
A good job done by Iain McArthur - this will be a stunner with some bottle aging. And adding some water really makes this beauty highly drink-able. What a great swimmer.
