FUNKY FLOWERS AND TROPICAL FRUITS

This 16 year old from Northern Ireland is 54.5% after maturing in a 1st fill barrel.

Flavour profile:  Juicy, oak & vanilla.

Outturn:  205 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "This is no wallflower! The generous nose begins with polished old mahogany tables, orange oil, potpourri, rum n raisin chocolate, liquorice, cherry cough drops and rich gravy made with cranberry jelly. The taste is pleasingly unusual and ‘funky’ - intensely sweet and floral (roses) with an abundance of red fruits and some herbs. The floral and fruity theme continues when you add water – it’s fresh and vibrant with hothouse flowers (geranium), tropical fruits (melon and mango), fruity boiled sweets, herbs and wine. The sweet taste provides juicy overripe tropical fruits, vanilla syrup and herbs. Unusual but rewarding."
