Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
rather bold, fruity (strawberries) and vanilled. Not as special as the Hanyu bottled by Full Proof in Holland I think but maybe better balanced. Much less oak, that’s for sure
restaurant Palate
fruity (ripe bananas) and vanilled again with a nice spiciness. Closer to the ‘Full Proof’ but not as boldly demonstrative. Rather long and balanced finish. Maybe more 'Scottish' and MOTR than expected despite the Japanese-French pedigree, but it’s very, very good whisky, no doubt about that. I can't wait to taste the other 'cards'. 83 points . CRAZY WHISY ADS – THE WAR OF THE DECANTERS part 14 1968: Old Grand-Dad ‘overgive.’ Less and less brands are issuing crazy decanters it seems but Old Grand-Dad carry on with that fine old tradition… 1969: Old Grand-Dad is still on. ‘Indulge someone – There are times to scrimp and save and economize, but this is the season to give the best. Your choice of the decanter or the regular bottle in either gift carton, Red gift wrap holds 86 Proof… Blue, 100 Proof. ' 1969: Other brands are really gearing to more conservative demands, like Ezra Brook with maybe one of the ugliest decanters ever. ‘Ezra Brook presents the Classic Firearms Collection. – Now the real sippin’ whiskey gives you something beautiful. From both barrels.’ Well… 1969: J.W. Dant issues this ‘thing’. “Americana”! By J.W. Dant – The Collector’s Bourbon.’ This one was sold by mail order it seems.
