Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
a marvellous oak at work here, as it starts all on furniture polish and ‘old cupboard’ but without these notes of varnish that one can sometimes find in these old glories. Other than that it develops more on mildly meaty notes (cured ham, beef bouillon) and ‘dry’ raisins, then quince jelly and just touches of figs and fresh mint. It’s no big Strathisla so far, it’s even a tad shy-ish, but it’s very ‘pleasantly’ balanced. After fifteen minutes: gets very ‘Indian’, with rather big whiffs of curry!
restaurant Palate
the oak does all the talking on the palate, the attack being a tad tannic and tea-ish. Amusing touches of lemon balm, though, as well as orange squash that sort of compensate for the oakiness. A tad papery too. Old Muscat wine, hints of Bailey’s
timer Finish
medium long, on oranges and tea. Less drying than I had feared
