Tasting Notes by Dave Broom... The Colour - Bright, yet deep mahogany cut with flashes of ruby. The Nose - Initial treacle notes precede dark chocolate with super-ripe black fruits, muscovado sugar adn walnuts. A drop of water releases notes of black banana, liquorice root, tamarind paste with and exotic edge of balsamic. The Palate - Starts off thick and sweet, becoming light and oaky before a burst of cassis / creme de mures then espresso & cacao. The Finish - Very long with light scented wood, black fruits and cigar tobacco. The Strength - Remarkably, after 40 years Black Tot will be introduced at 54.3% (94.2° proof), almost exactly original issuing strength.
