Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
well, it’s the same kind of classy spirit, only hidden behind rather massive notes of vanilla and milk chocolate (yes, more active oak). It’s also a bit more buttery but the excellent mashy notes do manage to come to light after a few minutes, as well as a little wood smoke. Not quite as ‘natural’ as the 1992 but it is great whisky. ‘Drink me?’ We will for sure!
restaurant Palate
exactly the same happens on the palate. These lemony, waxy and grassy notes are coated with vanilla and caramel, the result being rather pleasant, a bit rounder than the 1992 for a while but the bigger pepper (and cloves, and nutmeg) still makes it really, err, big
timer Finish
very long, clean, always on the same notes. Well, this is big whisky indeed, even if it lacks a bit of the 1992’s huge straightforwardness
