Connoisseurs Choice 1981

Age: 23 yo

Strength: 43%

Bottler: Gordon and MacPhail

Tasting Notes:

n: Fruity with apples and maybe some citrus? I can agree with some slightly peaty notes but I don't get the berries (probably because I've been drinking a very red-berry red wine just prior)

p : Nicely spicy and malty. Barley and sweetness. Very fruity but hard to pin them down - exotic - pineapple? Very nice mouthfeel, slightly waxy and coating.

f : Yes, I get those fruit gums - which reminds me that some of the palate flavours were maybe fruit gums. Very slightly salty but more oak and spice. Quite long.

c : Very tasty stuff. I can see why Nick B bought another. A serendipitous purchase I think. Lovely
