Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
wow, lots of oomph, quite unexpectedly. Some beautiful notes of freshly squeezed oranges, quince jelly, ripe mangos and guavas… Superb! Something of the old Lochsides or Clynelishes, getting rather waxy and starting to smell like a pine forest, fir honey, menthol and honey sweets, a little eucalyptus, camphor… Add to that a little caramel and quite some pepper and you’ll get the picture: it’s a perfect malt
restaurant Palate
again, quite some oomph, even it suffers from being quite cardboardy right at first sip, a little bitter and extremely herbal. Quite some peat coming through now with also a nice waxiness, quite some dried oranges, chlorophyll chewing gum, getting suddenly very, very spicy and quite meaty, with also some soy sauce, lots of pepper… Unusually bold, rich and complex, and even the finish is very long (and salty!) for a Connoisseur’s Choice. A great surprise, even if it’s probably not an ‘easy’ malt. 90 points . Glenlochy 25 yo 1980/2005 (55.9%, Silent Stills for Waldhaus am See, cask #2821, 259 bottles) A bottling by Signatory for Switzerland
