Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
exactly the same as the SigV, just ten years older, really. That implies a little more vanilla, softer clothe-y notes, a few more oils and waxes, and probably more almond oil. There. A little vin jaune, fino sherry… With water: totally clothe-y. Remember that old tweed jacket that’s seen so many rains?
restaurant Palate
a little hot, with notes of eau-de-vie at first, while whisky IS eau-de-vie, agreed, limejuice, then a drop of absinth, green tea, and green pepper. Not your average Caol Ila, in fact, this is greener and sharper. With water: indeed, there’s a lot of peppermint, seawater, and kippers. Not the ones who are keeping the cake, mind you. Sweeter apples
timer Finish
medium long, salty, moderately medicinal, and just a tad gritty (cider apples)
