Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

very different from the 1936, much more organic, with more sherry, mushrooms, and balsamic vinegar at first sniffs. Gets then much closer to recent sherried Macallans, with many dried fruits (figs, quinces, dates, sultanas, orange marmalade…), touches of liquorice and mint, tobacco and just a faint earthiness. After a few minutes: smells almost like an unlit Habano. Globally a little rounder and smoother than the 1936. After 15 minutes: whiffs of coconut coming through that give it a Springbanky feeling

restaurant Palate

dried mushrooms galore! Also even more pepper than in the 1936, more smoked tea, ginger, paprika… Also touches of cardboard and… maybe hints of cork? (yes it was a twist-cap). No drop in the middle this time, rather a development on more dried fruits (especially Corinthian raisins), with also an obvious rancio. Faint hints of kummel and juniper berries

timer Finish

long, balanced between a dry oakiness (cinnamon, white pepper) and dark raisins, with an ashy and liquoricy aftertaste. Slightly metallic
