Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
rather closed at first nosing, with just notes of hay and wet stones as well as salt and Fanta. A bit hard I must say and somewhat chemical. Let’s give it some time… Well, there’s also some ginger tonic coming through after a moment, old cardboard… And then it gets much cleaner, finally, mostly on newly cut apples. With water: oh yes, what a pull-up! It got much, much cleaner, nicely herbal and citrusy, with also quite some vanilla crème and whiffs of fresh mint. Amazing what water does to this one
restaurant Palate
punchy, aggressive, very bitter and very lemony. Ouch! Quick, water: it improves again but in lesser proportions. It’s still very lemony and quite bitter but we have also a little tea, tangerines, cake… Much more tannins as well and a finish that’s rather long but a little dry and sort of indefinite. But what a miracle on the nose! 80 points . Auchroisk 15 yo 1989 (59.5%, Cadenhead)
