Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
well, as we know, it's not mandatory to use great wines to make great whiskies, we've seen it with countless grand crus of Bordeaux. A grand cru does not make your whisky a grand cru. In any case, it's a magnificent nose, with all sorts of nuts, ointments and oils, superior to a 33-year-old 1978 ex-Massandra which was still very good (WF 85). Beautiful hints of the exhaust from an old English V12 (that's it, that's it...)
restaurant Palate
the blend has worked perfectly. There's a bit of mustard and perfect sultanas (was it malmsey-style?) then damp earth, mushrooms, humus, old walnut wine, salty touches, and especially, a magnificent sweet-salty side. Dates stuffed with salted marzipan
timer Finish
not very long but very balanced. Always this very nice earthy side, then liqueur, probably the 'Madeira' that has taken over. We're not complaining
