Scottish-bottled by Matthew Gloag of Perth. Penultimate bottle of the batch. Drunk with flash_uk and soon-to-be-member RA, in order to avert an emergency in Belfast (where these things must be taken seriously).
Very pleasingly dark as with previous bottles from this batch. Much more obvious tobacco notes than I'd noticed before. A little spiritous at first, then nicely big and cherryish mid-palate (perhaps cherry sweets) with white pepper and the merest suggestion of VA, a sharpness that is not unpleasant. Finish a little precipitous, perhaps. A lovely port.
