air Nose
lots of sherry now, but again these weird but interesting smells hiding behind it. What’s funny is that both mingle quite well after a moment, creating an unusual but highly enjoyable combination of crystallized oranges and sultanas with those waxy, oily and mineral notes and with the strong minerality. Actually, it’s quite superb although a little hard to describe. Lots of Grand-Marnier, in fact, tar, rubber (nice rubber – new Pirellis), then mega-huge notes of absinth and yellow Chartreuse. Lots happening in there, it’s really fun to dip your nose into this one
restaurant Palate
oh yes, it’s all in the same league, even if it’s very unusual again. Starts principally on grapefruit and lemon marmalade, a little pepper and that huge ‘jamminess’ (wot?): quince, apricot, figs… There’s also an incredible amount of various spices (some I don’t even know by there names). Lots of cardamom, in any case. What a superb whsky, with Dallas Dhu’s somewhat ‘whacky’ style counterbalancing the rich sherry with perfection. The finish is in the same vein, lingering, orangey, rich… An amazing Dallas Dhu, certainly the best I ever had. 91 points .
