TO THE MANOR BORN

This 16 year old from Campbeltown was aged in a refill gorda and comes in at 56%

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits

Outturn:  759 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "Thick, old fashioned vanilla ice cream, with tinned peaches, then a complex of polished leather (an antique desk, a sea chest, a worn leather chair, a vintage car), but also sherry trifle and creamy yogurt, amber beads and rich fruit cake. Rich and sweet to taste, then tannic-dry with bitter chocolate and salt crystals; sandalwood. Water sweetens the nose to treacle toffee and sticky toffee pudding, hazelnut and almond praline – rich and complex. The taste is rich, sweet and very fruity; elegant, with dark chocolate and treacle, and macadamia nuts in the aftertaste."

Drinking tip:  "Digestif after Sunday lunch"
