Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

take some gunpowder, some dark chocolate and some pepper, then mix the whole and add a good deal of alcohol and you may get this. Truth is that it’s superb, except if you’re a whisky pacifist and hate gunpowder in your dram. Actually, there isn’t much else in this youngster but you can achieve balance using only two or three elements, can’t you? With water: gets drier, with maybe a little sulphur and certainly whiffs of bicycle inner tube. Not greatly great at this point

restaurant Palate

big yet elegant attack, more complex than on the nose (same phenomenon as with the new 12), more on strawberry jam, fudge, Armagnac-soaked prunes, liqueur-filled chocolates and something like peppered gunpowder (wot? –Ed) With water: does not change like it did on the nose, which is great news. More of the same, just more quaffable

timer Finish

very long, balanced, with a little more marmalade and ginger liqueur
