Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
close to the ‘2000’ version but it’s quick to display additional aromas, namely more peat and more resinous notes. In that sense it’s closer to the 1941. Bigger ‘waxiness’ as well, more mint, more nuts (walnuts, almonds), more liquorice... Hints of dill and aniseed... It’s still not a very big whisky but there’s a beautiful complexity. Multidimensional and protean (wot?)
restaurant Palate
frankly, I really like this one better than the ‘2000’ version, even if we’re in the same family, obviously. A bigger peatiness, more spices, more pepper, more grassy notes as well (that’s the drawback), more wax, more cough syrup... More powerful honeys (our beloved chestnuts and such)... The tannins are a little bigger as well, less silky, but I think they give a better structure to the whole
timer Finish
long, punchy, spicy and, err, virile
