Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
rougher than the official 25, obviously, more spirity and sweeter, with even whiffs of bubblegum and strawberries on top of quite some vanilla. The expected peatiness roars in the background but the sweetness blocks it a bit. Water should help. With water: oh, the sweetness disappeared! It got much drier, herbal, grassy, globally rather austere but not immensely peaty. Seawater
restaurant Palate
once again, this is surprisingly sweet when neat, but less so than on the nose. Mild peatiness, a little antiseptic, grapefruits, a little salt… It’s all quite easy, without the oomph and zestiness that earlier vintages can have (such as DT’s 1982s, for example). But good it is. With water: a tad better – actually very good – but it lacks development and ‘width’. A little subdued in fact
timer Finish
only medium long but clean. Salted butter caramel
