Tasting Notes
Colour
Light gold
air Nose
We’re very much back in time in ‘Dumpy’ territory here with these notes of boot polish, pitch, steel wool and various minerals and waxes. So typically Cadenheads but also you have these wonderful tertiary aromas of wildflowers, sandalwood, seashore aromas and various medical tinctures that really cry ‘Scapa!’ Develops with curious notes of slightly overripe mandarin, camphor, some aspirin, freshly baked oatcakes and some assorted shellfish. Globally it moves more in a coastal direction with these occasional medical inflections along the way. Little notes of tea tree oil, chamomile and some Banffian touches of mustard powder
restaurant Palate
less thrilling than the nose. There’s a feeling of weakness with these notes of plastacine, grass and metal polish which suggest quite a fragile old whisky which may have suffered a little too much OBE. Having said that there are still some lovely touches of wormwood and old chartreuse along with other herbal notes and some floral aspects. White pepper, cloves, orange peel, nutmeg and a little liquorice
timer Finish
Medium length and pleasingly complex with an elegant mix of spice, citrus peel, various oils, a wee nibble of wood and some medicinal echoes
