Tasting Notes

Colour

dark red amber

air Nose

it’s more heavy English-style rum than malt whisky, and I haven’t got anything against that. A lot of very old balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, prunes, molasses and straight cane sugar juice, tar, heavy liquorice, coffee, old cognac (it’s switching from rum to cognac, really) and lastly, quite a lot of blood oranges. Massive at just 43% vol

restaurant Palate

well, now it’s maybe a tad ‘too much’, becoming grapy and kind of over-infused. Heavy cinnamon, grape pips, walnuts, liquorice and dark chocolate. The liquoricy part gets heavier and heavier

timer Finish

long, still heavy, ultra-extractive. Salmiak and ristretto coffee, with these grapy notes again in the aftertaste
