Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very ‘old grain’ at first nosing, that is to say all on coconut milk and vanilla custard, resembling a high quality pina colada if I may say so. Some delicate whiffs of crushed mint leaves arising after a while, just touches of camphor and eucalyptus, and then just a little leather and old turpentine. All that is very elegant and rather more terpenic than most old grains we know (old Invergordons, Carsebridges and such). Hints of marshmallows
restaurant Palate
it’s the wood that talks first now, with some tea and bitter almonds. Walnuts. Rather drying. Marshmallows and juicy fruits are only in the background, together with a little coconut again. It’s good but one shouldn’t have waited two more minutes before bottling this baby
timer Finish
medium, with good balance. Great news, it didn’t get any oakier at this stage
