Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
much nicer now, the oak is much nicer, there are whiffs of mint and earl grey tea, kumquats, roots… Really a, err… nice one
restaurant Palate
the same is happening here, it’s much livelier than the 10 yo . Enjoyable oakiness, notes of liquorice, a little orange water (baklavas), orange marmalade, praline, dried lychees. Good, for sure
timer Finish
also longer, candied, nutty, with quite some tannins… An Auchentoshan ‘retour des Indes’? Lucky cruise passengers, they were spoilt… 79 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: lots of sweet romantic tunes on WF these days (but there will be more rock and roll soon!). So, today it's Joshua Radin with Schuyler Fisk singing Paperweight.mp3 . Isn't that cool? Please buy Josh and Schuyler's musics.
