Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
an expressive start, caramelly and floral with hints of sherry. Very classical, with a faint smokiness and quite some vanilla, roasted nuts, cake, a little oak, nectar, honey… Nothing too special in fact but the balance is flawless. Simple pleasures… Another one that I'd locate in Balvenie's cluster. Oh, also fruit syrups and liqueurs. The oak grows bolder with time
restaurant Palate
very coherent. Very sweet and fruity, with notes of butter pears and ripe apples. Powerful. Lots of vanilla as well, oak, white pepper, tea… Gets rather drying and sugary at the same time after that but that's okay
timer Finish
medium long, not too complicated, fruity and oaky with also a little salt… A good one but there's little distillery character that I can get. 81 points . Glen Elgin 1985/2004 (45%, Samaroli, cask #1534) Again this interesting comment on the label: ' Bottled in Scotland, using traditional methods, May 2004. Refined inside the bottle since the same date .'
