Tasting Notes

Colour

light gold

air Nose

fresh attack with whiffs of white pepper and some rather bold notes of light honey, nectar, flowers (dandelion), apricot jam, developing on sweet white wine (Sauternes). Cooked apples, vanilla fudge. Interesting whiffs of sea air and notes of high-end cider. Extremely enjoyable and very far from most sherried Aberlours we’re used to

restaurant Palate

sweet and rounded attack, with some beautiful oak and quite some vanilla and apple juice. Very nice spicy notes (a bit of nutmeg, white pepper) and quite some salt. Dried parsley, Provence herbs. Gets a little cardboardy and drying… Notes of sweet wine again, hints – just hints – of balsamic vinegar. Rather long finish, extremely salty (it makes me think of a Malt maniacs vatting we did, that contained a good deal of Lochindaal seawater). Very good indeed, even if it could have been a little bolder. 88 points . PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK (with thanks to Davin de Kergommeaux) MUSIC – Recommended listening: I'd bet you'd never expected to see the versatile José Feliciano on whiskyfun, had you? Okay, I win, here's Stevie Wonder's Golden lady.mp3 (from Feliciano's 1974 CD 'And the feeling's good') - and after all, didn't he do the best 'Light my fire' after the Doors (okay, and after Julie Driscoll...)? Please by José Feliciano's music... September 28, 2005 TASTING - THREE INVERLEVENS Inverleven 27 yo 1977/2005 (51%, Signatory Cask Strength, cask #3600, 146 bottles)
