Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: heather honey, assorted jujubes, mint heavy mojitos and mint juleps; fleshy fruits like plums and freshly picked chocolate dipped strawberries; subtle leather, spices and tobacco.
Palate: beautiful, the most elegant and nuanced of the three; more heather honey, lots of cool mint, more plums and chocolate strawberries; raspberry cranachan, candied fruits and jujubes with some firm toasted oak and building dark sugars; the spices are there too, but just as a complement, ginger and cinnamon; candied orange and diced under-ripe mango.
Finish: long, coating and toasty with decadent sugars, honey and spice; layered and elegant.
Comment: wow, this one is subtle with layers and elegance; more understated than the other two and hard to put down.
