Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this is quite a magnificent nose, half-pastry-like and half-industrial, combining fresh concrete and engine grease with walnut cake and groundnut oil. But the very high strength still stands in the way a little, even after thirty years in bottle, so water will be welcome. With water: well it tightens up on fresh barley, damp earth, putty and paraffin
restaurant Palate
much more vivid on the palate, very lemony, chalky, reminiscent of a fat yet sharp sauvignon blanc from the east of the Loire. The expected notes of slightly salted grapefruit, and even mezcal, are here too. With water: perfect, very old-school in texture, almost a little sulphury à la Mortlach. Notes of fresh mushrooms and a light dustiness that calls to mind an antiques shop. This is certainly an antique malt!
timer Finish
long, oily, almost thick, you almost feel like you’ll need a wee spoon to scoop out the rest of your glass. The discreet salty touch in the dying moments signs off the whole with flair
