Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
no, no sign of a worn-out grain whisky, rather something that noses like an old bourbon, with whiffs of cellulose varnish and quite some natural vanilla and dried grated coconut. Goes on with nougat, praline, cappuccino, hints of dates, very soft mustard and curry, tea, warm oak sawdust... More and more on dried coconut and toasted oak. If you like grain whisky, you’ll probably adore this. Oh and there’s also a lot of spearmint and even verbena tea coming through after a while
restaurant Palate
spiced-up bourbon. A rather creamy mouth feel, with also a little salt right at the start (funny), the whole being rather zesty and not ‘too rounded’. Excellent vivacity. Notes of crystallised lemon, lemon verbena, orange marmalade... And a rather big but soft spiciness from the wood (it’s like if they had done this clever ‘new head’ thing on this as well – or maybe not)
timer Finish
long and warmer now, mostly on coffee, chocolate and cinnamon now, with again a little salt playing with your lips. Something like a super-super-Bailey, I’d say. I would not kill for a bottle of grain whisky, even a great one (except if it’s got a lot of character like the old North British Prestonfield we had a few days ago), but again, if you’re into this kind of whisky, this one is definitely for you. 86 points.
