Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it can happen, sometimes, that a particular malt whisky’s so fragrant and ‘perfumy’ (in a good way) that you’d think a perfumer assembled it. It’s the case here, with stunning notes of rose petals, musk (never found this much musk in whisky, honest), and some hand cream-by-some-posh-Parisian-house. Orange blossom water. In the background, rather furniture polish, old Camels, and something like… say old new electronics? Remember when we were unpacking a new stereo, or a new Macintosh circa 1990?
restaurant Palate
I cannot not think of classic Macallan. Some of the early 15s, distilled in the early 1950s, for example. Yep that’s pretty good news. Honey and dried fruits, but with a solid backbone, with pepper and soot. What we could call ‘almost-smoke’. Not quite smoke, but it’s smoky. I’m sure you see what I mean. Stunning palate, even if the 1974 still beats it
timer Finish
long – 43% vol., really? – and magnificently waxy and spicy
