The Five Distinguished and Rare 39 year old

This is massive. It even pours thickly as the aromas spill out of the glass: rich stewed apple dry oak a passing digestif trolley wobbling with dark sticky bottles and currants on the tummy of a gingerbread man. There is a rum-like quality to the thick texture that lands squarely on the palate bursting out with sweet apple and brown sugar. It hardly loses its grip after swallowing dissipating almost imperceptibly against the approaching oak flavors. Special indeed. (330 bottles WoodWinters Wines & Whiskies only) £150
