CRN57o 30 year old, 51.9%

This has aromas of leather, dunnage, treacle, and ripening blackberries, underpinned by savory aged balsamic vinegar and motor oil. A beautifully sherried dram, it’s smooth and thickly textured, with fruitcake, red apple, cherry, and dark caramel. The higher proof helps the spices to hit differently from the other CRN57o releases, contributing to the licorice, red fruit, and spicy finish.
