gold
air Nose
this expressive old Lochnagar starts very phenolic and rather smoky, with quite some coal, ink and graphite oil plus some unexpected grassy notes. Agave? White tequila? Unfolds more or less in the same vein, with some shoe polish, maybe a little ‘new plastic’ (new plastic pouches), hints of smoked ham, metal (iron), then more gravy (or English brown sauce, marmite…) Very, very old style! Some mint sauce after a while – English indeed
restaurant Palate
well, I think I never tried something like this. Starts on metallic honey, Asian sauces, liquorice drops, peppermint… It’s big whisky even after all these years in glass and at only 40% abv. Goes on with a little salt, more resinous notes, chewing tobacco, notes of grapefruits, fresh herbs (lemon balm, coriander)… These faint notes of plastic are here again as well as a little paraffin…
timer Finish
unexpectedly long! Salty, mineral, oils… A taste of yellow in the aftertaste (flor, fino)
