Tasting Notes

Colour

dark apricot

air Nose

I think the vin doux shows first, but I wouldn't say it's a muscaty whisky. There are whiffs of roses and maybe benzoin, certainly some raspberries if not straight pinot-noiry notes (no civet cat ;-)), notes of old wine barrels with a faint mustiness, a touch of tinned pineapples and then more floral notes, around the expected peonies. This is wine-driven, but I think balance and harmony were achieved, even if this concoction may well not be 'exactly Scotch' anymore. A very fine nose

restaurant Palate

a little syrupy and a little liqueury, but the citrusy side keeps it all balanced and even zesty. Not much gingery French oak this time, rather toasted bread, praline, butter cream and maple syrup, then raspberry jam again and a little eglantine jelly. A fine spiciness keeps it firm and even quite tense

timer Finish

medium length. A slight feeling of sangria, including more oranges and zests. More brown sugar in the aftertaste
