26 years old, distilled 30th April 1990, 50.3% abv, First Fill French Oak Hogshead, 222 bottles, dram price G

The nose has mango, cinnamon, milk chocolate orange and hints of mint leaves. The mouthfeel is thin with a little cling. The body has caramel, cinnamon and pear. The finish is pear, oranges and cinnamon.

Water brings out thick, short-lived whorling that doesn't quite mottle before it dissipates. The nose loses the milk chocolate orange and gains a hint of eucalyptus. The body loses the pear and has more orange. The finish also loses the pear and gains oranges.

A fine dram for dinner.

3.5/5
