Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
this one is a bit bizarre at first nosing, with an obvious sherry but also these notes of lavender we already had in the ‘5000’. Something like peat in the background (maybe more beech wood smoke), dried oranges, something distinctly perfumy (rosewater) and then lots of chocolaty and coffeeish notes. It reminds me of some rather recent sherried Glen Gariochs (not the ones from the 70’s or before). More and more ginger as well, old rancio, smoked meat, orange juice… Sangria? Yes, it’s almost like a high-strength sangria after a few minutes. Funny…
restaurant Palate
ouch, it’s really weird now, starting on lots of soap (scented soap, at that). Shampoo? Lots of Turkish delights as well, dried lychees, Smyrna raisins, something like a poorly made Muscat wine… Goes on with rotting oranges, cardboard, cologne… Yes and I don’t think I’m exaggerating. A very strange whisky – or something went wrong with the sherry. Pajarette? The finish is long and a little better I must say (or I’m getting used to it), gently caramelly and winey. Really an oddity, a little perverted I think, but maybe some do like it? 65 points . Glenturret 10 yo ‘100° Proof’ (57.1%, OB, 80’s)
