Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s one of these very flinty and waxy old Highanders, all au naturel and pretty unsexy. Wet rocks, grains, apple peeling, liquid paraffin, then more cane syrup and quite some fresh mint. Very little cask influence so the distillery’s austereness really shines through. With water: grassier, more austere… Grass and hay. Distant whiffs of cow stable, then a little fresh butter
restaurant Palate
perfect old style Highlander, very ‘accurate’, with fresh mint once again, grass, oils, bitter almonds, cardamom, a little coffee (beans) and that slight waxiness. Touches of lime. Full bodied. With water: fruitier and more resiny at the same time. Pine sap sweets, apple liqueur, pepper and touches of wasabi. Lovely profile but it’s maybe not for beginners. Bah, beginners don’t know of Glenlochy anyway
timer Finish
long, greener, more herbal, slightly tannic and bitter
