Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
mango cake covered with maple syrup. Some white chocolate and some honey. No roughness and no excessive woodiness, and above all no dull vanilla/coco. With water: fresh hazelnuts and almonds, plus a little tar, unusual in grain whisky. Really very nice
restaurant Palate
some syrup, some cocktail! Blood orange juice with some Sauternes and honeydew, with a wee sappy side and lovely hints of mirabelle jam. And once again, no oaky stuff that gets in your way, even after all these years. With water: ooh careful, it tends not to swim too well. The tar that we got in the nose became ‘new plastic’ on the palate. In very minimal quantities, thank god. What’s better is this orange-y side
timer Finish
medium, rather more akin to some middle-aged sweet chenin. Say Quart-de-Chaume?
