Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: flambeed banana, dried apricots and canned pineapple; chocolate marzipan, honey fried granola and shortbread cookies; creamed honey, white chocolate and clotted cream on dry English scones with strawberry jam.

Palate: round, rich and malty; thick with creamed honey, white chocolate and almond paste; toasty with building oak spices and white sugar; more flambeyed banana, dried apricots and canned pineapple; orange rinds; clotted cream and strawberry jam on bone dry scones; waxy red shoelaces.

Finish: long, coating, fresh and decadent with soft fruits and thick oils.

Comment: this is thick, very oily and malty with a bright fruity backbone; I haven't had a lot of bottlings of Old Rhosdhu, but this seems to be a fine example.
