Fra cask på GBBF aug-23: brunsvart med fint skum som varer. Lys kaffe, mørke chokolader og milde urter. Velbalansert, slank og meget lettdrikkelig med passelig mørkrøstet maltkropp.

330ml bottle from Mitchells Wines Meadowhead - deep black body with a little ring of tan foam. Nose is fairly sweet whisky notes, easy going taste, blackcurrant and liquorice sweets, little smoke from the barrel. Nice enough.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a sizeable cream head. Malts to the fore in the aroma, plus some general fruitiness. Malts again in the mouth, where it is smooth and creamy. Fairly sweet with fruity undertones and traces of cola, chocolate and caramel. This is rather nice.
