Thomas Hardy 2017 Bottle from Andover Liquors. I've never had this one fresh, always with many years on it. Pours a bit murky brown with a tiny off white head that dissipates almost instantly. Aromas of treacle and dark dried fruits with a touch of alcohol. Sweet dark sugary and fruity flavor but not cloying, actually finishes somewhat dry. Well not exactly dry but not sticky. Warming alcohol is a bit spicy. Its a nice sipper, might actually need some age though for the flavors to meld a little better.
