SPIRIT NOTES
Bold aromas embraced sultanas, raisins and prunes with a mix of tobacco, nut skins and dusty old books, while a touch of caramel peered from behind a rock. The palate was a delicious and complex amalgamation of smoked almonds, toffee and leather alongside rum and raisin fudge, salted caramel ice cream and crème caramel topped with ash. Water beckoned the smoke to come closer as plumes from a bonfire joined freshly cut peat and espresso mixed with yeast extract. Flavours now embraced peanut brittle, coconut and prunes before lavender and cough sweets directed us towards an old fashioned cocktail on the finish. Four years in an oloroso-seasoned butt before being transferred to a second fill oloroso butt that was previously used to mature Society bottling 3.307.
