Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
rather unusual and certainly ‘old style’, starting more complex than most more ‘modern’ whiskies. Scented candle wax, orange blossom water, metal polish, fragrant honey (orange), incense, ‘old wardrobe’, cigar box and vanilla fudge. Hints of smoke and then old white wine that matured perfectly well (it’s got something of a great old white Bourgogne.) Very complex and very elegant. High-end perfume? Even a little musk
restaurant Palate
more classic but not less pleasant, very orangey, with maybe not too much body but that’s replaced with elegance. Milk chocolate, brioche, caramel and bergamots, tasting more and more like very good black tea. Tea-schnapps? The tannins are quite apparent but very silky
timer Finish
medium long, toasty and maltier now, with even more tannins but again, pleasant ones. And always quite some smoke and maybe just a faint soapiness in the aftertaste
