Tasting Notes
Nose
A mellow, slightly pricked nose opens to a deep, complex sherry-forward bouquet: dark fruits steeped in liquor, prune juice, Oloroso and PX, with sloes in gin and prunes in syrup. Old oak and soft leather underpin notes of toffee and chocolate-covered coffee beans, finishing with Christmas pudding. Savoury, meaty hints emerge as the Beast of Dufftown stirs, tempered by a touch of water.
Palate
At natural strength, smooth and viscous in texture; mouth-drying and tannic. The wonderfully rich, fruity taste is immediately sweet, with damson fruit, lightly savoury with a trace of liquorice and spicy-dry, with a scented hint of cloves. Drying overall, with rich tannins. Sweeter and less tannic at reduced strength, with more sweet spiced fruit. Magnificent.
Finish
Seemingly endless and deeply impressive, with fruit and spiciness in perfect harmony and a warming glow spreading across the palate. Finally leaving the palate dry, yet wreathed in a glorious rich afterglow.
