Other reviews...
Fully matured, and not just finished in oloroso casks. Colour: full gold/pale amber. Nose: this one starts on rather obvious whiffs of struck matches and rubber bands, but we wouldn’t say it is unpleasantly sulphury. Develops on notes of farmyard after the rain, old Port, mulled wine (cloves and cinnamon) and hints of bubblegum (or a pack of liquorice allsorts), and gets finally more on gunpowder and tar/tyres again. In short, yes there is some sulphur but unless you hate that, it’s still a very nice nose that we have here. Mouth: much richer than the ACEd versions, with once again quite some gunpowder (not that we chew that kind of stuff every day) and rubber bands (that we used to chew at school.) After that it’s more an orangey and peppery profile that develops, with quite some old oak (slight mouldiness) and more and more spices including cardamom and cinnamon. Notes of raspberry liqueur. Finish: long and, just like the ‘kosher’, maybe a tad kirschy/spirity, with also quite some pepper. Comments: a middle-aged olorosoed Laddie that’s not on the ‘thick and round’ side, nor ultra-dry as some are. Kind of a nervous sub-Blacker Still if you like. Now, I’m happy because of the three OBs we just had, I liked the cheapest one best. Yeah, let’s fight the recession! 83 points - whiskyfun.com
