Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
this is, of course, extremely punchy but neither totally brutal, nor spirity as such. You just have to avoid dipping your nose too deep into your glass! These very nice floral notes are well here once again, but the rest is more towards almondy and fruity notes (pears), with also hints of marshmallows (newly opened pack). A very pleasant grassiness in the background. With water (and after a few minutes of rest): great! A very nice waxiness arises, very ‘old Highlands’ style, together with various grassy and herbal notes. Fresh walnuts, cut grass, hay, then something curiously smoky/meaty (chicken soup, or rather pea and bacon chowder) and finally an unusual mix of parsley and mint. Much bigger in style than Glencraig anyway
restaurant Palate
ahem… Well, one may put this into his mouth but I think it’s not a good idea to swallow even one single drop, except after having carefully ‘reduced’ it using saliva. Way better than Stroh 80, that is. With water: once again, this is bigger than the Glencraig, even when reduced down to roughly 40% vol. Liquorice, a little salt, herbs, unusual notes of cooked green vegetables, tea… It’s good
timer Finish
long and even more vegetal (notes of white rum and tequila)
