Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
just as expected, we have a very soft, very elegant and maybe slightly evanescent combination of wax polish, old orange liqueurs, tobacco and honey. Then a little more leather, marzipan, vetiver, wormwood and delicately smoked tea and lastly, a very subtle bouquet of flowers such as peonies and old roses. A little patchouli as well, pot-pourri… And maybe a faint earthiness (mushrooms). A very noble old spirit that really reminds me of some very old – and noble - cognacs
restaurant Palate
impressive body after all these years, you would have thought it would have been partially gone. It’s not the case at all even if it’s no big whisky of course. Starts on bitter chocolate and maybe a wee dustiness, then we have earl grey tea, mint flavoured tea, liquorice wood, cake, speculoos (or gingerbread) and marmalade. Looses steam after one minute or two, which was to be expected, but there’s also a little peat and even some salt appearing, the whole becoming rather dry and surprisingly briny
timer Finish
short but rather clean, with now touches of lemon on top of the saltiness. A little chartreuse in the aftertaste
