Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

really straighter, more vivid and more ‘mineral’ peat smoke. The driest and the most austere of all, but maybe that’s because of the very high strength, so let’s add water right away. With water: big fruits and big peat, an excellent combo, well above the 1986 and 1987s in my opinion. Superb waxiness and leafiness, notes of marzipan-filled dates, fresh putty, macadamia oil, limejuice… A great nose no doubt

restaurant Palate

big very punchy and very similar too its siblings. Maybe a tad grassier and bitterer but once again, water is obligatory. With water: oh yes, the best so far, no doubt. Straight ‘coastal’ peat, fresh nuts (almonds, walnuts), lemon zests, coriander, cardamom, sage, green pepper, heart of palm… Totally excellent

timer Finish

long, a tad sweeter and rounder now. A little mind in the aftertaste
