Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

there’s much more wood and soft spices than in the 1975 it seems, the whole being really firmer and drier. Hints of wood varnish, newly sawn oak, vanilla, then a little cardamom and curry, ginger, thuja wood… Get’s back to its ‘origins’ in a certain way after a while, with more fruity notes (oranges and bananas) but there’s always quite some oak. Reminds me partly of Glenmorangie’s experiments with plain American oak (Artisan, Astar and so on). Gets very orangey after a few minutes. Ultra-clean despite the obvious oakiness

restaurant Palate

punchier and certainly more assertive than the 1975. Starts quite bourbonny, with a lot of vanilla, coconuts and lactones but gets then crisply fruity, with big notes of tinned pineapples again, blood oranges, bananas flambéed and vanilla fudge. Silky tannic undertones and pleasant grassy notes in the end of the middle (chives, mint)

timer Finish

very long and balanced, with more butter pears just like in the 1975
