Complex, developed aromas of black and red fruit, with some aniseed. Palate still vibrantly youthful, with a tight core of black fruit and refined, restrained tannin structure. Years ahead of it still, ageing surprisingly slowly. One more bottle in the cellar for 5-10 years’ time. — a month ago

1st of the flight. A nice palate opener. Not complex but a nice starter to the tasting. This is the Distillers version which they say is better than the 15 but not as good as the 25. — 5 years ago

With Chung-tung at Xiao Long Bao restaurant. Pale straw color. Hay and cloves, reminiscent of Dalwhinnie a bit. Salty tang toward the end. — 10 years ago

More delicate palate compared with the traditional brand offerings, elegant and graceful like Dalwhinnie, but in the Suntory style.
Very smooth, too easy to enjoy 😉 — 2 years ago

Young Australian Shiraz up against modern hipster Australian Shiraz and some awesome Rhones. This stood out stylistically from the others so much that I think everyone picked it out of the blind flight. Rich classic Shira character without going over the top with ripeness or oak. I really like this region for traditional Shiraz and look forward to trying some of these with age. — 10 years ago

Essence of strawberry and rasberry with notes of sandalwood and spice. Very Giant Steps but with a bit more tannin. Not great p/q. Stick to your amazing shiraz boys! — 4 years ago

Vanilla and cream scent but strong peat and wood taste. Long finish. This was the malt of the month. Not too bad — 8 years ago
