UPDATED: NOV 20, 2023 2007 vintage bottle at share. I always love to drink some Thomas Hardy and this vintage has cellared well over the last 16 years. Flat brown pour. Boozy, malty aroma, oak. Taste has light brown sugar notes, leather, tobacco, earthy, nutty. So mellow and easy to drink, each sip a pleasure.

UPDATED: DEC 4, 2021 2006 bottle stored in the basement. Absolutely amazing how great this tastes after 15 years. Good streak of molasses sweetness, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, a little booze and even a hint of hops. Really great sipper. Honestly almost no hint of age at this point.
