Colour: Amontillado sherry.
Nose: An immediate and powerful medicinal hit with secondary notes of high cocoa-butter chocolate. The nose screams: add a few drops of water to me.
Palate: The tightly wound 'ball' of flavour unloosens with just a little water. Dark berries are infused with nutmeg and cinnamon. The renowned Speyside malt barley content comes through and a honeyed sweetness becomes discernible towards the end of the sip.
Finish: A fragrant pipe tobacco is to the fore, fading quite quickly to a dry, grain-heavy smokiness.
Verdict: Another superb rendition of the blend and further evidence of the blender's wise hunch. Big flavours and great depth make for a most satisfying dram.
