Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the profile is close to the previous 1986’s but everything is toned down. I don’t know which part of that effect comes from the lower strength. Technically, none! A tad more on ‘white oak’, maybe, with a little more vanilla. Other than that it’s a much lighter fruitiness. With water: water unleashed more aromas this time, making this one much closer to cask #6G5020. Same mango and coconut-driven fruitiness and same whiffs of humus and fresh mushrooms. Quite superb now
restaurant Palate
again it’s a tad narrower than the previous one when neat but on the other hand, the fruitiness is more immediate and easy. It’s rather more citrusy, with some grapefruits. Lemon zests. With water: more citrusy touches, more freshness. Less oak than in its sibling, more freshness
timer Finish
long, citrusy, very clean, very fresh
