Although the distillery isn't specified, it's not from Scapa!
16 years Bourbon Hogshead, 1 year PX finished
Dist: Sept 2000 Btl: Sept 2017
Tasted: Oct 2017
The nose is rich, grapey, winey and heavily PX influenced with sweet treacle, tar, cinnamon, chilli pepper and green pepper. There's a slight hardness in the background, that could point to Jura [distillery not known at time of tasting!] but it's hard to figure given the heavy sherry influence. Anyway it's a really interesting nose.
The palate is soft and treacly, but slightly edgy with gritty spice, cinnamon and again a green pepper-like character. Grapey PX and raisinated prunes come through on the middle. Long and spicy with lingering soy sauce, cinnamon, capsicum and a smidge of herbal peat. Even though there isn't much in the way of distillery character, it still has a character of its own!
