Port Hogshead/ Code: OLD0292/ DL11030

Dist: Oct 2005 Btl: Feb2016/ Tasted: Apr 2016

Light and breezy to start with ozone and salt. A touch of barley, lime, tar and building smoky, earthy and lightly medicinal peat follows along with winey red fruit, malt and smoky bacon notes. The aromas are relatively subtle by Port Charlotte stands but the peat is cloaked a little by the port.

The palate is soft and malty with subtle herbal peat, tar, liquorice and treacle. Quite tannic with the dry, dusty port spice coming...
