Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
no peat this time, rather a quite subtle combination involving the usual vanilla and coconut, plus cut grass and some stewed apples. Not very big so far, but I wouldn’t say the age shows much. Perhaps a little shy? With water: more coconut, as (almost) always…
restaurant Palate
ah. More proof that grain whisky needs a good cask and a lot of time. Both have been in use here, and you just cannot not fall for this subtle, almost caressing tropicalness. Avocado juice, crushed bananas, a touch of mango and papaya… Extremely good! All you need is a swimming pool, a deckchair, and 35°C in the shade. With water: even more tropical fruits. Shall we call it maracuja-y? I know, I know…
timer Finish
medium, with a sweet sourness that works very well
