Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

not need to tell you this is a completely different world and proof that Speyburn can be wonderful (not that we weren’t in the know, of course). As always, it’s a little difficult to separate ‘good’ OBE from what was in the whisky in the first place, but this is splendidly metallic and oily, with this feeling of ‘old engine’ (say Aston-Martin since it’s the brand’s 100th Anniversary just now), and then many herbs and nuts. A little patchouli, almonds, barley water, camphor, old herbal liqueur, mint-flavoured tea… The whole’s quite elegant, subtle…

restaurant Palate

sure the OBE isn’t perfect here, there are touches of industrial orange juice (the dreadful Fanta) but other than that, it’s very good old malt. Maybe a little lavender as well? Parma violets? There’s even a little peat, it seems. Now, the nose was nicer than this palate, as often

timer Finish

of medium length, with a curious combo of cranberries and, again, violet sweets. Blood oranges?
