Here are all the delicious details:
Cask no 1.164 Cheshire cat whisky: 27 years old; refill hogshead; 52.1%; $184.99
'Sweet manna from heaven' - toffee, fudge, caramel, Toffifees, vanilla, honey - but more - tea chests, spice racks, aromatic smoke, burnt heather and pencils in a library - we could have smelled it endlessly. Water opened up the fruit - sherbet, orange zest, peach, strawberry, tinned grapes, sweet sap and light smoke - panellists grinning like Cheshire cats. The sweet, oaky palate had tablet, fudge and bread dough - by an open fire; but it also had a darker side - woody, earthy, drying, with sticky cassis and treacle. Water brightened it up - Starbursts, Skittles and spicy Advocaat. From the distillery always directed by John or George.
Cask No 64.35 Nicey, nicey, sweet 'n spicy: 21 years old; refill barrel; 55.2%; $160.99
The nose was finely layered - old-fashioned, expensive, floral perfume on top; apple sauce, gooseberry puree and a tin of fruity boiled sweets below that; the olfactory sub-strata inhabited by patent leather and old books. The taste was sweet and hot - opinions included tom yam soup, mango chutney, HP Sauce, chilli, crystalllised ginger and leather. The reduced nose added floral pot-pourri, plum chutney, polished sandalwood and Indian food (ginger, paprika, etc.). The palate improved but the sweet and savoury profile remained steady - toffee, honey, sugar-coated fennel seeds, liquorice and salty lime pickle. This distillery does not draw water from Loch Dhu!
