John Barleycorn scored this whisky 91 points

Colour: Seville orange marmalade
Flavour: Deep, rich & dried fruits
Soft, rich and creamy, the nose displayed buttery toffee
with Brazil nuts and Macadamias, plums, marmalade on toast, liquorice, treacle
pudding and rum and raisin ice cream. The unreduced palate was massive, intense
and vibrant with plentiful heat, treacle toffee, orange zest, dates, figs, raisins and plums -
quite Christmassy. The reduced nose, conveying chocolate, rum, caramel and
molasses (and a tiny trace of struck match) seemed almost Jamaican. It remained
full on the palate - we identified dark chocolate truffles dusted in cocoa,
candied oranges, treacle, liquorice, and a pleasant, long-lasting ginger and
pepper heat. From Tain’s one and only distillery.
Drinking Tip: A perfect winter warmer - or after dinner with
coffee
