Hunter Laing Old Malt Cask Glenlivet 2001 (10 year old) 50%

Sherry/ Code: OMC2253/ Dist:Sept 2001 Btl: May 2013/ Tasted: June 2013

A distinctly first fill Oloroso nose! Very leafy and herbal with hints of sage, camphor, light herbal coffee and more herbs! Lightly balsamic and dunnagey with some luscious orange and dried fruit. 

The palate opens with dried grape and sultanas with coffee and dark chocolate. A very minor sulphur blemish is evident unfortunately. Nutty an lightly floral with some barley and balsamic notes. Quite a smoky finish with duty spices and wood tannins.
