Cask No. 167.2

A rich and dense aroma we agreed, full of furniture polish, fig rolls, cherry liqueur, strawberry jam, chocolate and peanut brittle, and tiny wee hints of lovage and toasted fennel seed. Water brought classical dry sherry aromas, some cola syrup, singed pastry, black forest gateau and aged armagnac. The palate was initially autumnal, with ginger bread, Jamaica cake, more cherry liqueur and black liquorice. Water sweetened everything slightly, delivering notes of clementine dipped in milk chocolate, sweeter liquorice, date molasses and pears baked in sweet wine.
