gold
air Nose
it’s a fresh and fruity old Tomintoul, with quite some vanilla, tea, ripe bananas, pineapples, tangerines and then more putty and marzipan, even a little pine sap. As often with these very old whiskies, there’s also some mint and touches of camphor and eucalyptus soon to arise, also a little varnish and wax polish (like in some oldish rums). Finally whiffs of green tea and a little shoe polish, let’s only hope this baby won’t be too dry and oaky on the palate…
restaurant Palate
a rather amazing punch at 40yo and 41% ABV, to the point where I’m wondering if the ABV wasn’t misprinted. Great fruitiness too (oranges, bananas, grapefruits) and a development on sweets, jellybeans and marshmallows – at 40yo! Quite a surprise. Too bad there’s also something slightly sour and stale at the same time in the background… Industrial white beer? Also a ‘funny’ fruitiness, hard to describe. Burnt fruits? Tamarind? A bit weird but not ‘bad’, just unusual
timer Finish
medium long, a little cooked. Fruitcake. Herbs in the aftertaste (thyme?) and something metallic
