Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a discreet attack on a little vanilla plus hints of fresh fruits (bananas). Goes on with notes of fresh walnuts, a little tea, apple skins and white pepper… Hints of oatcakes, hops and mashed potatoes… Quite shy and lacking a little more expression but certainly not unpleasant
restaurant Palate
sweet and fruity like a much younger malt. Again, little personality but it’s not too woody – at all. Apple juice, vanilla crème, a little white pepper, tea… As simple as it can get at such old age but the consequence is ‘no weird taste’. It should be fun to let some friends taste this one blind and ask them how old it is. The finish is rather short but balanced, maybe slightly gingery (also a little cinnamon)… Again, shy but certainly not dead. 82 points. Speyside Selection No2 (51.7%, Duncan Taylor, 2005) A vatting of a bourbon cask from 1969 and a sherry cask from 1970
