Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
quite powerful, with something funnily coastal at very first sniffing but it’s soon to get austere, grainy, developing mostly on green apple and newly cut grass. Lacks roundness and expressiveness. Faint hints of sulphur and green tannins. Let’s try it with a little water: the green tannins are more obvious now, the whole getting even mashier (mashed potatoes, mashed turnips)
restaurant Palate
powerful, with a rather nice fruitiness (ripe apples) but also a little sulphur and rubber. Sharp and not the cleanest. Low shelf kirsch? With water: better now, rounder, sweeter, toffeeish… Not bad actually
timer Finish
rather long, simple, liquoricy, grassy but quite sweet. Not the most interesting malt I’d say, but it’s not too bad actually. An indie Glenkinchie is something interesting anyway, for it’s quite rare – but don’t forget to add water. 78 points . Glenkinchie 10 yo (43%, OB, circa 2004)
