Shall we find marmalade and leather, with that trademark wee saltiness? Colour: gold. Nose: certainly more coastal than I remembered, more on dried kelp, paraffin, some kind of grassy polish, Theres also something metallic, old copper kettle, grandmas old silver cutlery, as well as chestnut burr, autumn leaves Its really dry. Mouth: salty

fruity and rather phenolic

some spices from the oak

With clear essences

fading away very elegantly

then a little menthol… It’s certainly quite coastal

This is the decanter to celebrate 100 years of the Queen Mother

with less chill filtration and lower caramel coloring than modern equivalents

While formal tasting notes are scarce

Finish: Long and perfume of crystallised oranges

Finish: A little caramel over baked apples
