TIC-TACS & TAR-MAC

A 20 year old Ileach at 53.8% after maturing in Ex-Bourbon, only 12 bottles coming into Canada.

Panel's Tasting Note: "The first nose wave had PVA glue, waxed paper and soor plooms; the second wave a tsunami of liquorice, tar, burnt heather and the string from Arbroath smokies or kabanos. The unreduced palate had sweet toasted lavender, scorched heather, tarry ropes and Imperial Leather, with a fine, long-lasting impact. The reduced nose delivered Fry's orange cream by a scalextric track; one panellist was working on his bicycle – brake pads, inner tubes and the tar-mac road. The reduced palate suggested mint humbugs and orange tic-tacs – fabulously sweet with smoky depths – a dram to trigger vivid dreams. The distillery heats a swimming-pool."

Drinking Tip: "A dram for a day off - perhaps playing with the scalextric track."
