Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
rich gold
air Nose
less sweet, more profound, more ‘tertiary’ than the 4 Roses, more complex – despite an oakiness that very high and that’ll always surprise malt drinkers in my opinion. An unexpected rancio and notes of stewed fruits, a little coal, caramel, coffee-flavoured fudge, vanilla, even a little game… Is all that the rye? With water: superb! Damp earth, rare mushrooms (I mean, not the average sh****y cheapo mushroom) and a lot of oak and graphite. Right, pencils
restaurant Palate
yooh-ooh-ooh, this is strong! Is this legal? But I love this earthiness and all these spices, the notes of gentian, maybe mushrooms, ‘sweet earth’… With water: same. Very creamy, fruitier at this point and very ‘rye’ (I’m starting to begin to know a little bit about rye whisky)
timer Finish
very long, with maybe a little more drying oak and pepper. Rather bitter aftertaste
