Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
perfect! Unusually smoky and without these mustardy/mineral notes that can be found in Banff – sometimes. Superb fruitiness, a tad resinous/sappy, kumquats, fresh almonds, Seville oranges and then a little liquorice. The oakiness is just perfect here, with a little sweet vanilla (pods, no artificial vanilla)
restaurant Palate
the oak is louder but the peppery and mustardy tones are most beautiful. It’s also extremely mentholated, which is very unusual (high oak extraction that’s more to be found in old rums in my shortish experience.) Not dry at all, though, because of all the oranges that play the fruity part. A lot of marzipan too. Very interesting whisky, as Banff often was
timer Finish
long, drier, maybe even a tad drying now
