Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
the kind of aroma that seems to exist only with old style distillate aged for a long time in refill wood. That is to say a huge collision of old cedar cigar boxes, beeswax, pollens, heather honey, waxes, white truffle oil, dried mint, leather, ink and many subtle wood spice notes. Warming, deep and displaying this rather beautiful yet fragile complexity
restaurant Palate
the wood is loud but it is hyper clean and showing all manner of exotic hardwood resins, spices and these warming notes of old leather and toasted pepper. Boot polish, furniture oil, camphor, dried herbs, bay leaf, old green Chartreuse, menthol tobacco. The kind of palate that actually matches the nose and possibly even outstrips it a little, which is rare with these older malts. Some crystallised fruits and citrus peels keep things fresh and just the right side of tidy
timer Finish
medium but beautifully leathery, camphory and with this slightly lactic and beery quality that gives maltiness and backbone
