LOCH LOMOND 2007 14 YEAR OLD (CROUCHER & CO 'PERIODICAL')

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 23 April 2022). Nose: Walnut, very light peat, toffee, burnt caramel, vanilla. Hints of sweet berries. Palate: Banana sweets, berry sweetness, strawberry kids sweets, fake strawberry flavouring (like cheap strawberry ice cream). There are hints of char and a very light dry peat. Finish: Medium long finish. Darker notes on the finish than the palate, there's more oak, leather, black tea and dried dates. The aftertaste is dried fruit (dates/figs), oak and leather. Sweet and sour, burnt caramel and treacle.
