Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

not very expressive at first try, curiously watery (very light tea) with whiffs of cake and smoke. Quite some sherry coming through after a while, with notes of dried apricots and finally lots of nutmeg and tamarind as well as coal. Something distantly perfumy in the background. Rather elegant but maybe it lacks a little more depth

restaurant Palate

again, it starts a little weakly, with a rather meagre mouth feel. Rather malty, very sweet, with some strawberry pie, roasted peanuts, overripe oranges (very overripe ones). Sort of toned down. A little cocoa, bitter caramel.. Something leafy. The finish is medium long, mostly on smoke, fruit liqueurs and caramel. Not bad at all but somewhat antiquated. Not exactly thin but lacking a little more body, I’m afraid. 79 points . Dalmore 12 yo (43%, OB, cream label, mid 1990’s)
