Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
power chocolate and coffee! Extremely oloros-ish, which is fantastic. Add to that a little smoke and tar and you get a rather simple but almost perfect sherried profile. With water: fab again! Gets wider, sweeter, fruitier, with many prunes, dates, raisins, figs, liquorice and then obvious notes of fresh blackcurrants. Impressive
restaurant Palate
oh sweet Vishnu, this is spectacular! We’re much more on PX now, it’s even some kind of ultra-fortified PX from an excellent maker’s. So very raisiny, obviously, with strong liquorice in the background. All that is truly fabulous, in fact. With water: the most perfect honey. Supremely PX-y, maybe not unlike some current middle-aged Glendronachs (more, much more about those later)
timer Finish
more of all that for a very long time. Maybe it becomes a notch too grapey in the aftertaste but I’m probably splitting hairs
