SMWS Advent Day 22
SMWS 54.63, Aberlour, 2000: and some face odyssey, 17 years old, 54.2% A-
10th February 2000, 210 bottles, 2nd fill bourbon
Nose - Crackery. A little sesame and some sandalwood, fresh acrylic varnish and wood dust from sanding it. A bright, hard sweetness; simple boiled sweets crunched, and a creamy perfume.
Body - Full bodied in its second fill bourbonry, with clean apple wood, moisturising cream and the oiliness of double cream in the mouth.
Finish - Oddly short, cream and that crackery, peppery cereal at the end.
Good nose, and very drinkable, if a little ordinary.
