GRITTY TURNED PRETTY

This 17 year old Highlander is 57.5% and came from a refill gorda

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits

Outturn:  606 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "This smells like a heavily Sherry-fed fruit cake, a strong chocolate Porter matured in Sherry casks, a roast leg of lamb with rosemary jus and burnt honey, orange and clove glazed ham; those were just some of the remarks. A unique nose neat was followed by God’s wrath in the form of smoke, embers and brimstone on the palate sweetened by melted hot dark chocolate and spiced Brazil nuts. With water, aromas of loaf cake and mulled cider with mince pies and the taste still massive, “pull down your pants, as this one will kick your …” – don’t say we didn’t warn you!"

Drinking tip:  "Just before a rugby match whilst the opponent team perform the Haka"
