72Black Bull 12 Years Old, 50% abv
Rich almond grassy notes on the nose - in a very powerful in your face kind of way. Mouthfeel is surprising for 50% abv. It has a soft velvety texture with dominant spices, particulalrly ginger towards the end. The finish has an adgy bitterness to it. Not unpleasant mind you. Not surprising it has won so many awards. at 50%, it is in the heavyweight class for sure.

This will be bottled in the Fall of 2012. Watch for it! Mint, apples pears and allspice on the nose. There is an element of dry grass that starts out on the palate which is quickly followed by essence of brown sugars. The finish is light and delicate with melon and kiwi fruit flavours.
