Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
as always with these old bottles, you cannot not wonder if they couldn’t be fakes (forged bottles, refills…) but the noses will give it away: this is just a beautiful old malt, with what whiskies were having at that time, that is to say more fatness, more smoke, and a broader spectrum of aromas, especially meaty and earthy ones. Old limoncello (very Rosebank), cured ham, dunnage, cough syrup, Vicks, a drop of chicken bouillon, another one of miso, whiffs of long-forgotten toolbox, engine grease… And of course menthol. There’s almost always a little menthol in these old malts. Having said that, it remains a Lowlander, with a kind of wonderful fresh lightness powered by citrus
restaurant Palate
perhaps has it got a little more fragile over the years, but it hasn’t lost all its teeth, not at all. Thai soup (coriander, basil, lemon, coconut) and citrons, an earthy touch, a pinch of chalk, and just a little tea. It’s pretty important to quaff it quick, as it tends to lose its oomph in the open
timer Finish
short, but still okay. Notes of old mead
