Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
it starts very much with chalk, wet limestone, even modelling clay, but also bursts of sea air at low tide, followed by somewhat winey notes that I hadn't noticed as much at Whisky Live. But context is hugely important, as you and I know. There's sherry and fruits cooked in wine, which is very pleasant but less 'fresh' than expected. Also touches of flint and mustard sauce. All in all, a very pretty nose, but less close to the distillate than in my memory. Maybe it's a different batch?
restaurant Palate
yes, it's a bit heavy, spicy, still marked by the cooked fruits and spices, ginger, cloves, grilled pecan nuts, tobacco, orange marmalade, dried grapes
timer Finish
long, rich, spicy, fruity and indeed winey. Quite a lot of dried grapes and pepper in the aftertaste
