Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
interestingly, this one is both similar and different from the BBR, not only because of the higher strength. Once again, the citrusy notes don’t play in solo here, as there’re also some pleasant whiffs of wet gravels at first nosing and then more grassy notes and even a little mustard or horseradish. And once again citrus wins in the end. With water: yeah, pure, crystal-clean Lochsideness now. The citrusy fighter squadron
restaurant Palate
a creamier, thicker, more candied and spicier version of Lochside. It’s probably a little less fresh than others but it’s also fuller, kind of more satisfying. A big 1981 Lochside that hints at the 1960s in a certain way (1966, anyone?) More topical fruits, mangos, passion fruits, oranges as well… Oh well, I’m sure you see what I mean. Honey as well, ginger… With water: a citrusy sin, a true fruit bomb

long and just as citrusy. More grapefruits than oranges now
