Tasting Notes
Colour
my God this one is dark!
air Nose
whiffs of varnish at first nosing, soon to disappear. Starts then on heavy notes of plum sauce and high-end balsamic vinegar, wine sauce, prunes and armagnac. Just superb. We have also lots of salty liquorice, game and coffee. Really concentrated, to say the least
restaurant Palate
here's a very heavy sherry, with lots of bitter chocolate, coffee, very ripe kiwis and cinnamon. Gets just a little drying (flour). Goes on with orange liqueur, hawthorn tea… As concentrated as on the nose – I can’t imagine what it would be at cask strength (but we'll have an idea - see below)! Very long finish, with a great kind of sourness. Brilliant whisky at just 43%, for 'concentrated' people ;-). 90 points . Yamazaki 1984/2005 (56%, OB, Japan, 70cl) This ‘Vintage Malt’ won the non-plus-ultra award at the Malt Maniacs Awards 2006 and it was about time I published my tasting notes
