Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
this is rougher and wilder than the 18, and not just because of the higher strength. First whiffs of distillation, wash, boiled cereals… Then the very same kind of rather superb smokiness as in the 18 (maybe a tad more towards a garden fire under the rain), and finally a lot of cereally and mashy notes again, not quite porridgy but… Hints of Madeira indeed but it’s anything but winey as such. Old walnuts, cake, malt. With water: impressive, we’re very close to the 18 now! And whiffs of a farmyard after the rain. This one takes water perfectly well!
restaurant Palate
hot, rich and very fruity, starting on loads of overripe oranges and notes of violet sweets and just a very faint bitter rubber – nothing unpleasant. Quite some liquorice too, orange liqueur… and more liquorice. With water: once again, it swims like Mark Spitz. Smoked orange liqueur (uh?), Darjeeling, nougat
timer Finish
long, with some soft spices (cumin?) and notes of orange cake like on the nose
