Tasting Notes

Colour

deep amber

air Nose

this starts well, very well. Superlative golden raisins and kougelhopf plus fudge and toffee (a whole pack) for a start, then a progressive shift towards pine needles, pinesap, menthol, cough syrup and assorted elements. It can happen that these kinds of developments in very old whisky become a little off-putting, but that's certainly not the case here, quite the opposite. Unless you just hate cough syrup!

restaurant Palate

sure the oak bites a bit, with a very gingery and peppery arrival plus something drying, around strong black tea... But when the liquorice kicks in, together with many burnt dried fruits (the kougelhopf had been forgotten in the oven), everything gets better. Heavy pinesap, though

timer Finish

long, bitter, with many old walnuts and more strong tea. Tannic aftertaste
