Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

astonishingly, this one is more closed, more austere, much less playful than the 12yo. Did they try to compose something more ‘serious’? More Scottish? Much less fruity but quite farmy instead, slightly phenolic, waxy. Hints of rubber, blackcurrant leaves… Gets then quite vegetal (newly cut grass, green tea) and slightly peppery. Nothing to do with the rather extravagant 12yo

restaurant Palate

it is better now, much closer in style to the 12yo. Almost the same whisky but with more oomph, thanks to the extra 6%. Maybe a tad nuttier and more caramelly. Too bad the nose lacked the 12yo’s ‘full-Irishness’. And don't tell me it's not PC to like the 12 better! 82 points . Cooley 13 yo (60.6%, Cadenhead, circa 2006)
