''Rich, amber color. Dried fruit, anise, crushed mint, cocoa, and pepper aromas. A soft, round entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium to full-bodied palate with sweet toffee, honeyed toast, brown spices, and pepper. Finishes with a perfumed fade of buttery caramel, spice, and mint. Very tasty and mild.''

Tasting Notes:
Nose: A typical Islay -- heavy, powerful aroma. Unmistakable.
Taste: Quite heavy and very full with a delightful hint of sweetness at this age.
Comments: Part of United Distillers' Classic Malt range. A gentle giant of a dram. One of the best.
