A 750ml bottle, number 1184/2000, 2012 vintage, bottled on 24th March 2017. Poured into a snifter glass.

Appearance: Black in colour with a slightly less than one finger brown head that had decent retention and left some nice spotty lacing.

Aroma: Roasted malts, boozy, whiskey, chocolate, licorice with notes of dried dark fruit, prunes.

Taste: Roasty, chocolate, whiskey, boozy, licorice, dark fruit, raisins, prunes.

Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.

Overall: It’s quite boozy, but the roasty and whiskey flavours work well together, and it was an enjoyable sipper.
