Tasting Notes

air Nose
not the first time a spirit of such age reminds us that truly great old spirits tend to converge, provided the quality is there. What I mean is that this little marvel in our glass could just as easily be an ancient rum, a venerable Cognac, an old Armagnac, a noble Calvados or even a museum-grade Tequila—or indeed any permutation thereof. What speaks loudest here is time itself, not the original ingredients, whether barley, agave, sugarcane, apple or oak. In short, we’re greeted by all the great honeys of the world and a kaleidoscope of citrus fruits in every conceivable shape, size and origin. With water: it now evokes those wondrous old Sauternes that have quietly shed much of their residual sugar

scarcely believable: eucalyptus, honeys, dried fruits, oranges, and a staggering freshness that belies the half-century on the clock. With water: everything arrives—fresh and dried fruits, waxes, embrocations, varnish, tobacco, and even, dare one say it, a few humble cleaning products—natural ones, of course
timer Finish
old rum meets old Cognac meets ancient malt whisky, in sublime harmony
