This is a well dated blend from Grants. This bottling is from the 1980s when this product line carried an age statement.
Super rich sherry. Plums, vanilla, caramel, nutty toffee, figs and stewed fruits.
Medium, no heat. Sweet toffee, fresh baked bread. Amaretto and toasted walnut. Really rich toffee again. Pipe tobacco. Musty and sweet. Rich currant, black berry, fig and plum.
Long, sweet and rich. Musty still, lots of sherry and rich cocoa starting to develop.
Hot damn. No wonder blends were popular in the 80s. This was an incredible look back in time to a product that is nothing like you see today. I'm honestly going to look for more of these at auction, now that I know how good they are.
