Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

the malt from Glenlochy makes a big impression when you taste it for the first time, and I think it’s one of those profiles that you remember afterwards, such is the balance between the candied fruits—especially citrus—and the meadow honeys, which is just perfect. Granted, many malts show similar profiles, but rarely with this kind of utterly perfect balance, based on mandarins and citrons and wildflower honey containing a little hint of fir, which brings a very light mentholated and smoky touch

restaurant Palate

same remarks, point for point, including the wee smoky and minty touches. The oak remains fairly discreet as well, and the whole remains very fresh. Marvellous and the 46% work perfectly

timer Finish

not very long but still on that perfect balance. Touches of Earl Grey in the aftertaste
