2017 bottle. Black with a creamy, beige head. Oak aroma with black currant and dark chocolate. Taste is bitter with a touch of toffee sweetness, an indistinct fruitiness, and plenty of ashes at the finish. Body to the full side of medium, very mild carbonation—not surprising I suppose for a seven year old bottle. Pleasant.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - jet black with a thin tan head. Nose - dark chocolate, coffee and liquorice aromas. Leather and new car smell. Taste - more leather, some raisins and molasses. Some boozy whisky and wood. Palate - full bodied, creamy and elegant. Overall - superb.
