Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
hey, but this is nice! Aromatic but not extravagantly so, rather rich, slightly vinous but with good balance, rather less dry than other Madeira-ed whiskies that I could try until today and a little more towards sherry (PX or cream). Sultanas, a little strawberry jam, marmalade, figs, then a little more tea (earl grey) and just touches of humus/mushrooms… All that on a bed of vanilla that I’d rather have expected from bourbon wood. Or was it first fill American oak Madeira wood? Anyway, a nice, rather rich nose, very nicely composed and a bit ‘un-Glenfiddich’ because of the richness. Ha, variety!
restaurant Palate
well, the attack is quite superb but there’s almost no middle. Maybe we’re not used to 40% vol. anymore? It had started on beautiful notes of candied oranges, mulled wine and touches of cloves and cinnamon, but it really nosedived after fifteen seconds, leaving only a thin sweetish gingery coating and a little fudge. A one-song gig (but the song’s great)
timer Finish
obviously short, with only a few sweet and spicy touches (crystallised ginger)
