A 750ml bottle, number 39/2000. 2012 vintage, bottled on 29th March 2017. Poured into a snifter glass.

Appearance: Black in colour with a very thin brown head that settled quickly to a ring around the glass and no lacing.

Aroma: Chocolate, dried dark fruits, raisin, prunes, caramel, with some boozy whisky notes.

Taste: Roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, liquorice, boozy, whisky, dried dark fruit, prunes, raisin.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft to no carbonation.

Overall: It’s a good enjoyable sipper, but not among my favourites of the Black Damnation variants.
