Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
similar attack, a little spirity and woody, but bolder, and then it goes in a completely different direction: lots of pine resin, varnish and turpentine, which I always like. Lots of camphor too. Hints of rum, and like in the Garnheath, deep forest after the rain. Very special, I like it. Gets a little toffeeish – burnt cake
restaurant Palate
how special! Rosewater, Turkish delight, Grand Marnier, pine syrup, fir honey. Develops on praline, caramel, raisins, rum. Some strange perfumy notes strike after a minute or two (eau de Cologne). Mint liqueur (Get 27), Dantziger Goldwasser, Chartreuse, tar… Really crazy! Even chorizo, salami… Long, complex finish. Special indeed. Not a classic, that’s for sure, but I think it’s well worth 89 points (I had cask #15539 at 91 points). North British 18 yo 1979/1997 (43%, Signatory, single grain)
