Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold with bronze hues
air Nose
the kinship with the Rare Malt is quite clear despite the age gap, and even at forty-four years old, it has retained that austere, mineral edge that evokes once again clay, limestone and slate, atop a bed of white and green fruits, little pears, apples, natural white wine, whitecurrants… It’s sheer beauty, if you’re paying close attention! With water: vineyard peach returns in force, softening everything quite wonderfully
restaurant Palate
it arrives at full gallop, beyond the yellow fruits, very camphory on one side, with as much eucalyptus and pine bud as you’d find in a Corsican forest, the effect rounded off by lemons and citrons, also presumably from Corsica. Spot on. With water: once again, fresh fruits take over, citrus leads the charge, and that mineral tension remains. Once again we’re practically in grand dry white wine territory now, perhaps even Andalusian if you fancy
timer Finish
long and magnificent, still on that mineral fruitiness – or fruity minerality – endlessly fascinating
