Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
all excellent, those very old North British by the Laings. Wonderful earthy tones, mushrooms, millionaire shortbread, Pu-erh tea, mild high-class pipe tobacco, artisan chocolate, a touch of amontillado (not sure it was a sherry cask, though), fresh porcinis… High class, really high class. Was that the maize?
restaurant Palate
hard to beat within the category – and I’m no grain man – because of these earthy and herbal touches. It’s not void of any bubblegumminess (!) but all the rest works very well. Jaffa cake, cinnamon rolls, tobacco, dried pineapples…
timer Finish
rather short, but really complex, with these subtle earthy notes that are so ‘un-grain’ in my book. Now, perhaps have they filled an ex-Old-Clynelish cask back in 1962…
