Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
it's not the expected fruity burst that happens, rather a slow take-off on all kinds of teas such as earl grey and chamomile, with the expected tangerines and kumquats only whispering in the background. More menthol after a while, walnut liqueur, a little toffee, marzipan, chartreuse… It's all quite subtle but certainly not weak. Very nice profile, with even old roses and Turkish delights coming through after quite some minutes. Kind of oriental… Also a little ale
restaurant Palate
the oak's louder and there are also unexpected notes of Guinness and other stout beers (Guinness is stout, right? I know nothing about beer). Very big maltiness, then more herbs, cinnamon (quite huge) and cloves. Good body at 43% but this is quite un-Lochside in my opinion
timer Finish
medium long, even more on malt. Ovaltine, chocolate and cinnamon. More bitter oranges in the aftertaste
