Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: Treacle sauce, crab apple jelly, firm new leather, dark chocolate and Eatmore; slightly herbaceous, fruit compote with orange peel and frilled pineapple; meaty and a touch musty-dunnage warehouse.
Palate: rich, thick, sweet, spicy and fruity with more treacle sauce, soft leather and dark chocolate; maple syrup, fruit compote, glazed beef jerky and juicy orange; a touch of musty-earthy dunnage warehouse notes; lush and layered, some apricot jam and quince paste; increasingly spicy as you dig in to it with candied ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon hearts.
Finish: coating, spicy and syrupy with toasted oak and more fruit compote.
Comment: not as elegant as the TWA 22 Year, but it is also richer and sherried, so a very different style; meaty, fruity and syrupy with dark chocolate, and even the dark chocolate is spicy!
