Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

funnily enough, 1982 isn’t 1981 – not saying vintages mean much in whisky of course. The lemon is louder in this one, the grass as well, it’s sort of narrower and ‘younger’, less smoky too… But kippers and anchovies are there so let’s add water. With water: whiffs of wet newspapers (wet iPads won’t work, what shall we do?)

restaurant Palate

big and creamy mouth feel and truckloads of lemons and pink grapefruits. It’s not particularly complex but what a wonderful, err, compactness! Simplicity can be an asset, after all… With water: the ashy and putty-like side grows bigger

timer Finish

long, clean, perfect. Brine and lemon and bitter almonds
