Tasting Notes
Colour: Pale Amber Nose: Full of fruits, dark cherries, peaches in syrup, figs, oranges, cantaloupe melon, honey off the comb, cooking apples.
Flavour: Thick mouth feel, balanced fresh woodiness shows maturity yet is still vibrant. More citrus notes emerge before the sherry notes come through. Raisins, stewed fruits, pain au chocolat.
Finish: Long finish for something so delicate, touch of saltiness. Chocolate and then background fruitiness fights to the fore.
Comment: What a dram, sip and savour and watch the world go by as this whisky changes and changes.
Black Bull 40 year old is limited to only 957 bottles.
