First came a toasted smug called Yin followed by a hoppy fella called Yang. Let me introduce you to Auld Yin – a wrinkly more experienced take on youngster Yin. 9 months in the company of an insightful, complex whiskey cask made a pretty interesting spin on this imperial tajii taste adventure. Aye!

Bootle. Almost black. Caramel, toast, maple syrup and bourbon in the aroma. Velvety mouthfeel. Bourbon flavor. malty sweet, boozy. Hints of ash and roast. Licorice, but the whisky dominates. Lovely!

33 cl bottle poured in to a Snifter. 2012 vintage, expired in 2015. Pitch black with a fully gone head. Sweet aroma with dark chocolate, coffee, caramel, liquorice, peated and wooden notes. Vanilla and tobacco. Taste is sweet-roasted. Full body with an oily texture and a flat carbonation. Long lasting dry, roasted finish with a hearthy amount of peat, whisky barrel and dark malts. Lovely barrel ageing. Should’nt be stored anymore.

(Bottle. 12.0%) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with strong black coffee, cacao, oak wood, whisky, brown sugar, a touch of treacle and hints of tar and peat. Malty, roasted taste with notes of black coffee, chocolate truffles, liquorice, soy sauce, treacle and a warming finish with whiskey, toffee, a touch of alcohol and a generous coffee bitterness. Full body, soft and rounded mouthfeel. A certain sweetness coming through. Tasty and quite powerful, but still very well balanced. Excellent stuff!
