Gold 2015

Tasting Note

" Nose moves slowly into focus as if there is no hurry. Then delivers a massive wave of old leather, rich spice and a whiff of smoke. Big but graceful entry into the mouth. Slow but determined flow across the palate with rich texture. Brown sugar and old honey ensure a sweet richness followed by sweet vanilla. Rich malt is there all the way and the smoke appears again. Mellow, full flavoured finish. "
