Queen of the Moorlands Rare Cask ‘The Chairman’s Bottling’ Glenlivet 30 year old 54%
Sherry/ Tasted: Oct 2006
A rich, oily and sherried nose, just this side of vegetal. There is plenty of Cognac-esque dried fruit, orange liqor, soft spices and coffee. The palate is much like the nose, rich and densly sherried with hints of gingerbread and soft spices. Pretty intense stuff with lots of wood notes and tannins on the finish.
Water mutes the intensity of the nose, but emphasises the orange fruit, whilst on the palate it becomes very pleasantly honeyed with a floral finish.
