Tasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
we’re so much in line with the 1978, it’s frightening. The 15+ extra-years did not change much, this is just a little leafier and less chocolaty. The almondy, putty-like side is wonderful too. With water: hell, tobacco! Leaves! Thuja wood! Pu-erh tea! Fabulous nose if you’re into this style…
restaurant Palate
oooooh… the SMWS is crushed when we’re talking unreduced spirit. Indeed, this baby’s stronger but it’s more complex, richer, more silky in a way… Stunning oranges and kumquats, bergamots, oily and mentholated things (I don’t know, like sauces, cordials, syrups…) It’s exactly fabulous whisky and I’m not even sure it needs water. Yup I know it was bottled at almost 60% vol. Yet, with water: oh no, it does not swim! The oak comes out and kills the rest, with a ‘cocoa powder effect’ that’s not too nice. Careful with water
timer Finish
very long, dry, mentholated. After Eights without the lethal amount of sugar
