Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
same but older and at cask strength, which means with a little more vanilla, a little more wood and a little more mint. Wait, it does get better – much better – with time. We get eucalyptus now, all kinds of resins, camphor, vanilla pods… And even more mint. Keywords: mint and vanilla!
restaurant Palate
punchy, powerful, minty but also quite weirdly yoghurty. Strawberry-flavoured yoghurt? The cask must have been quite lazy, even if there’s quite some vanilla and liquorice. What’s interesting is that it tastes like a 10 yo malt (of good quality). Simple but balanced, especially at the finish which is long, compact and pleasantly sweet. Vanilla, strawberry sweets and liquorice all-sorts with a little white pepper. Not especially interesting but dangerously drinkable – and old Glen Speys are very rare, aren’t they? 86 points (for its ultra-balance and compactness). Glen Spey 11 yo 1995/2006 (59.7%, Norse Cask, hogshead #421, 242 bottles)
