Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

    • Nose

      Leather and tar at first, but with a wave of dried fruit quickly following on behind: a handful of raisins, a bucket of sultanas and a river of caramel-apple sauce. Lumps of polished oak float by, accompanied by ginger cake, toffee sponge and caramel cake bars. Char notes build.

    • Palate

      Spiced sponge cake, burnt raisins and lots of dates. Sweet spice gradually builds, with butter pastry draped over the charred fruit. Berry and menthol notes develop – blackcurrant lozenges? – as well as butterscotch candy and cinnamon toffee. Caramac bars are a surprise, creamy addition before a wave of berry jam pulls us back down into fruity darkness.

    • Finish

      Soft spice and apple cake slowly fade.

    • Comment

      A well put-together sherried dram that will please Mortlach fans. There was much potential for this to go off the rails and turn into a bit of a jammy mess, but it doesn’t – if you like a big sherry-cask dram with stuff going on, you’ll enjoy this.

  • Caroline Roddis, The Whisky Exchange

    • Nose

      All those notes from re-doing your house: stewed black tea, jam on toast, open paint pots and varnish tins. Then it becomes a dried fruit fiesta, with raisins joined by hot apple upside-down cake with oodles of caramel. A sulphury note does attempt to push through, but the fruit smacks it down.

    • Palate

      Less weighty than first expected, oily but with drying tannin. Lots of hot caramel notes, veering slightly into varnish, are joined by intense clove, plum and liquorice notes. There’s a big wedge of fruitcake too, the kind with lots of spice and dried orange peel.

    • Finish

      London cheesecakes layered with liquid treacle toffee.

  • Tom Ransome-Jones, The Whisky Exchange

    • Nose

      Super jammy; sherry-heavy fruit-ester silliness. Oranges stewed in Cognac. Something of Christmas wreath, a touch of cinnamon, and then raisins, sultanas, candied ginger and darkest muscovado sugar.

    • Palate

      Oily; old, varnished wood; a soft fizzle of dry spice balanced by that deep, muscovado sweetness. Still some sultana and ginger but drier than the nose, leaning into wood.

    • Finish

      Big, woody spice and fresh, juicy orange. More oily weight and muscovado sweetness right on the end.

  • Ning Heywood, The Whisky Exchange

    • Nose

      Christmas cake, oranges, cloves, dates, raisins and warm baking spices lead the charge. Rich, sweet sherry has its way with aromas of cinnamon toast, dried apricots and figs.

    • Palate

      Slightly dry, on the palate there are still oodles of dried fruit flavours, Christmas pudding and even some roasted chestnuts, but there is a much spicier presence than in the nose. Cinnamon, cloves and cardamom open up to fresh ginger, pink peppercorns and golden syrup sponge.

    • Finish

      Sweet caramel takes over now and leaves traces of honey, sultanas, cinnamon and plums in its wake.
