BOW (88)

Serge Valentin (83)

I think they were playing Battleships when they decided on the number for this butt. Colour: full gold. Nose: it's a mellower one, rather on fudge, shortbread, butterscotch, barley sugar, Golden Grahams, then dunnage and 'old hessian bags lying in the cellar'. Mead is obvious too, as well as hints of old sweet wine. Mouth: the saltiness kicking in, together with broths and soups, some earthiness, stewed root vegetables, touch of good sulphur (candlewax-like), a drop of sweetened leek soup, a drop of Islay malt… Well, anything an old butt could provide us with. No 'clear line' here, but there is a comfortable Sunday-afternoon-feel to it. Finish: rather long, spicier, more peppery. Chocolate in the aftertaste. Comment: a bit jumbled but still jivy, so this time again, we'll declare we're rather pleased.
