Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
quite some sherry but also unusual notes of varnish and parsley. Develops on dried oranges and bread crust, milk chocolate, getting then very herbal (dill, chive, coriander…) Very interesting. Also something slightly metallic, motor oil…
restaurant Palate
not too bold but not weak, sort of strange, starting on overripe oranges but also lots of paraffin. Notes of cod oil (err…), cardboard, clay… Gets then very herbal again (dried parsley, thyme). I’m wondering whether there isn’t quite some peat in there. Unusual notes of green curry, Madeira, and retsina… That’s right, it’s quite resinous. The finish isn’t too long but balanced and satisfying, on peppered strawberries… Interesting, really interesting – I can’t remember having had that much parsley in a malt before. 84 points . Braeval 9 yo (46%, DL Premier Label, 422 bottles, circa 2005)
