Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
ah yes, this is clearly 'Banffesque', starting on some rather grassy notes as well as fresh butter and something like mustard seeds. Notes of fern, moss, wild mushrooms… Also something slightly metallic and waxy that reminds me of the old Clynelish 12 yo OB (yes, great news). Goes on with green apples, hints of shoe polish, wet stones, old coal oven, cactus juice… Even motor oil… Well, I like this!
restaurant Palate
oh yes, it is beautifully austere and this palate is very coherent with the nose. Waxy, mineral, lemony, peppery… Maybe a tad cardboardy as well. The pepper grows bolder by the minute, with also notes of high-end white rum or maybe tequila. And again that metallic tang
timer Finish
rather long, compact, lemony and beautifully bitter (lemon seeds)… A winning Banff, in the 'old Highlands' style. My fellow Maniac Michel was right, Banff can be great. 90 points . Banff 27 yo 1976/2003 (54.4%, Cadenhead, 228 bottles)
