Originally released in May 2012 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th year on the throne. Aged in sherry casks selected by Bob Dalgarno and bottled on February 8th 2012 (60 years to the day since her ascension) at 52% (to match the year of ascension) and only 2,012 bottles produced. The label and package was designed by Art Director David Holmes who selected one of Arnold Machin’s effigies (which were later developed into the postage stamp) to adorn a brooch on the bottle’s label. Inspiration was taken from a brooch gifted to Queen Victoria on her Diamond Jubilee and embraced the Queen’s favourite colours, pale blue, pale yellow and pale green. The antique pewter surround was made in Scotland, the cameo in Staffordshire and the flags and ribbons were all made in Britain.

Bottle and box are in excellent condition. Bottle has a slightly low fill level.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

(issued in 2012)

Nose – Vanilla is the first to show, sweet to a point, yet shows maturity. Citrus fruits hang on to the coattails, (orange, apple, hints of lemon), almost appear when they are required. The cask influences then appear, resinous, never overbearing, changing to show polished oak, aged, reminiscent of a once exquisite dining room.

Palate – Rich dried fruits open up to show their hand. Raisin drives the character in a non-nonsense manner. It is evident it is not alone, figs and dates, are the lesser players of the group. As they converse, treacle toffee takes a bow followed by the courtiers, ginger and clove. Like a finale the grand lady enters, Oak – refined, polished, elegant, overlooking all.

Finish – Long, meanders, in no hurry to leave.
