Description
The new 21 Years Old is created using both Oloroso and Pedro Ximinez sherry casks, and takes its name from the parliament of rooks that have been nesting in the trees overlooking the distillery for almost 200 years.
What The WSD thinks: Intense raisin concentrate on the nose. Fruit cake and cardamon on the palate, the fruit cake is very well done and baked oranges are added.
Tasting Notes
Nose |
Distillery: A delicate mix of ripe autumnal fruits - notably blackberries and red plums. Rich Oloroso sherry and candied orange segments. Spiced oatmeal biscuits and toasted oak fragrances bring excellent weight and balance. |
Taste |
Distillery: Resolute flavours of fine Oloroso sherry and bitter chocolate sauce, which has been spread liberally over homemade plum pudding. This is all infused with fabulous spicy notes - cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Full bodied with smooth tannins. |
Finish |
Distillery: Long and lingering. |
