pale gold
air Nose
oh, this reminds me of an Auchentoshan by Signatory that I had the other day, as it really smells like good old grain whisky, with a lot of vanilla and coconut and then café latte (litres – Kramer won’t be too happy) and pollen. It gets then more citrusy, with a very pleasant zing. Quite some spices as well (nutmeg to the front). Great freshness again but it’s still rounder and less zesty than its older sibling. A very nice Lowlander anyway, not overpowering at all at 58% ABV. Yet, with water: like often, there’s a bigger and persistent grassiness arising now. A great mojito?
restaurant Palate
much closer to the 1978 but certainly more ‘wham-bam’ and more ‘focused’. A lot of coconut and grapefruit plus pepper, almost a tropical cocktail at cask strength actually. Also strawberries with ginger… Very, very demonstrative. With water: something more oriental now, Turkish delights and bubblegum. Rosewater? Also more of the expected notes of lemon
timer Finish
excellent, long, still very playful, with more wood and more spices (same notes of cardamom as in the 1978
