Beautiful nose of flowers and cream. Dark color. Great body of complexity with long finish. Almost fruity. 1998 17yr. Sherry solera cask in 1970. Gordon's tasting 8/25/16 special scotch. 43% ABV. — 10 years ago
Essential. — 10 years ago
Warm, oaky , hint of vanilla aroma. Major vanilla flavor the whole sip through. Pretty smooth, still a bit of bite. Butterscotch! Super loooong finish. — 11 years ago
Caramel brittle on the nose, very light at first and explodes into a crescendo of subtle flavours -- vanilla and spice. Long and complicated finish. The taste just seems to grow infinitely after you've swallowed. — 12 years ago
