Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
oh, this is much less sherry influenced and much more on fruits and honey – in other words, one of these winning exuberantly fruity old Strathislas, or so it seems. Don’t get me wrong, there is some sherry but it’s not the very chocolaty kind of sherry. Figs, quinces, beeswax, orange marmalade and rosewater, then ripe apples, gooseberries and even hints of pomegranate, all that coated with quite some nougat, praline and a mildly vanilled oak. Superb! Also hints of olive oil and mint flying around
restaurant Palate
once again, the oak is louder on the palate but the deep fruitiness and ‘jamminess’ make for a great counterpoint here. Big mouth feel for a 43% malt whisky. Mirabelle jam, apricot cake, tons of sultanas, cane sugar, then quite some cinnamon from the oak, cloves, orange blossom water…
timer Finish
unexpectedly long, all on milk chocolate and blackberry jam. The balance is perfect
