Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold (as always with these entry-level malts)

air Nose

nice, really, malty, on more cakes, more raisins than in the 'Forest', raisin rolls, brioche, panettone, perhaps a pecan pie, almond cake, a drop of mirabelle eau-de-vie, a little mead (the drink of the gods)…

restaurant Palate

yeah I like it a little better than the Forest, for it would be rounder and fruitier, with more raisins, sweet wines, zwetschke tarte, more mirabelle eau-de-vie, earl grey, indeed a drop of cognac, perhaps… So all gentle and good, 'commercial' in a good way. Not quite in the same category as the legendary old square bottles, but I am finding similarities

timer Finish

medium, this time with oranges beside the raisins
