Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

much bigger and fresher, indeed the most immediate impression from the higher ABV is a feeling of a whisky that's been far better insulated from the effects of time in bottle. A rich and emphatic oiliness with olive and mineral oils, gentle notes of bandages and medical embrocations, dried herbs with a little pepper and, with time, a wonderfully growing and increasingly assertive dry waxiness. Blind you could almost say you're nosing a naked old style highland malt. Terrific power and poise! With water: gets rougher, sharper, saltier and slightly more animalistic towards sweat and furs

restaurant Palate

more evidently a blend here as you do feel the grain component, but the overall texture remains fat, oily and with terrific weight and presence in the mouth. Peppery, gently medicinal, some light natural sweetness from the barley and faint fruit notes of green apple, pears and gooseberry. A terrific old blend! With water: actually superb now! Water really seems to amplify the malt aspects, becoming very mouthfilling, juicy, sweet and with a lot of peppery waxiness, drying medical qualities, herbs, roots, earthy and salty/umami vibes. A real thrill ride!

timer Finish

good length, still on waxes, roots, herbs and wee specific notes of tarragon, bouillon stocks, hessian and cod liver oil
