Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts all on apple juice, warm butter and wood smoke, getting then rather grassier and waxier. Notes of something like ‘grassy marzipan’ (?), old walnuts, vase water... Gets more on dairy cream after that, yoghurt, with the oakiness also taking off (white pepper, nutmeg and ginger). Very dry, pleasantly so, although we do also get hints of plums and maybe not too ripe apricots. It doesn’t seem to need water so let’s drop it
restaurant Palate
punchy, fruity and very peppery attack, I’d say in the ‘rough Highlands style’. Overripe oranges and lemons, cider apples (a little bitterish), vanilla-flavoured toffee, vanilla, sage... A lot of oak and ‘bearable’ green tannins. Also notes of grape skin, lemon peels... Rather wild and rough I’d say
timer Finish
long but frankly tannic now, drying. The funny thing is that this ‘flaw’ is rather pleasant here, it gives this Dallas Dhu a big backbone. I quite like it. 85 points. Dallas Dhu 26 yo 1981/2007 (55.7%, Duncan Taylor, cask #432) A brand new bottling
