Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold (just the same as the 18yo)
air Nose
starts much more on crystallised oranges, apricot jam, cooked strawberries and, again, grenadine. The mashy/yoghurty notes come through after a moment but they are much shyer than in the 18yo. The whole is denser and rounder but also quite simpler than the latter. Hints of slightly burnt apricot pie
restaurant Palate
certainly a better body than the 18 even if the profile is more or less the same. A little more oomph and a little more complexity this time, with more praline, honey-coated nuts, nougat and crème brûlée. Also a little ginger
timer Finish
not too long but more satisfying than the 18yo’s, mostly on candy sugar and caramel again. Not complex but pleasant. 79 points. MUSIC – Recommended listening: you couldn't escape the Dexy's midnight runners twenty years ago and then there's been Save Ferris doing the very same Come on Eileen.mp3 . I must admit I like it... (please don't shoort at me!) You may buy Save Ferris' music.
