| Not presented at the press preview in the LCBO lab. Last appeared in Vintages (**+/***) on December 6, 2008 at $254.95. Here is my tasting note: Golden amber colour. Complex, very faintly peaty, fairly intense, slightly peppery, dried ripe plum and caramel nose. Dry, quite smooth, medium to medium-full bodied, very bright, tangy, slightly peppery, caramel tinged, flavourful dried ripe plum and sandalwood flavours with a long lingering finish. |

| TASTING NOTE: NOSE: big aged oak amid the smoke and honey: it appears something a lot older has got in here; uniquely complex and back to its very best; TASTE: silky and confident, every usual box is checked - or even double checked. Much more honey and smoke than I have seen here for a while and it's not all about quantity. What quality! FINISH: long with amazing degrees of oil, almost of bourbon-corn variety! Helps keep those mind-bending honeys coming! Score - 96 (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2014) |
