Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
very punchy, with similar aromas (flints, struck matches) but also something that’s even closer to sulphur, leather and shoe polish. Most probably from sherry casks. Rather winey as well. Very nice whiffs of damp earth and humus and a little salpetre. Very interesting nose but the 62% vol. are well there! With water: superb! Game, old balsamic vinegar, menthol, tiger balm, camphor, fern… The Managers had it good in 1992
restaurant Palate
yee-hah! Strong, invading, nervous, heavy on the liquorice and on herbal liqueurs. Mint liqueur? Dantziger Goldwasser? Quite extreme. With water: crash! It became so heavily mentholated that it’s almost flawed in my view. Reminds me of some very strong old bourbons of Irish (some, not all!)
timer Finish
very long but really green now, kind of biting. I’m sure some enthusiasts would love this one but it’s a rather tricky malt on the palate
