Tasting Notes
Colour
salmony (aaargh)
air Nose
again, not as winey as feared. Sure there are quite some blackcurrants, peonies and raspberries but this winesky is well made. Not my cup of malt at all but well made. Okay, let’s not spend too much time on this one
restaurant Palate
immensely sugary, fruity and winey. And fat. And frankly too much. Raspberry syrup
timer Finish
long but really too much for my tastes. Another premix? Not my profile at all. From 72 points for the older version to... 72 points for this new one, even if it’s more, err, ‘concentrated’ – to say the least. Glenmorangie Nectar d’Or (46%, OB, Sauternes finish, 2007) Exit Madeira and Burgundy, here’s a Sauternes finish. It’s not impossible that new owners LVMH provide the distillery with their own empty Sauternes casks (yes, it’s Sauternes with an s at the end. Sauterne is a pale copy made in America, or a frequent misspelling done by some of our Scottish friends. Well, I do it myself sometimes, but not on labels, eh!)
