Three Ships 10yo Single Malt November 2003 43%
Vanilla, greengage, gooseberry, sandalwood, floral incense, an astonishing nose, oriental in nature, then dark toffee, a sherry character emerging, then roasted peanuts with the floral jasmine top note a constant in this amazing dram.
Viscous and velvety soft on the palate, sherry sweet, rich spice, a touch of pepper and a long oak-driven vinous finish. Stunning! Master distiller, Andy Watts should be justifiably proud of this South African expression…up there with the best in the world and hopefully repeated one day….92
