Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes. Pencil eraser, pollen, many honeys, beeswax, stearin, broom and gorse, old hardwoods (we used to mention dashboards of old Jaguars), tangerine and citron liqueurs, lime blossom, zucchini flowers, acacia, and hundreds of different nectars. Probably one of the most floral whiskies you could ever nose

restaurant Palate

of course there is a little fragility, and indeed 'their' Glen Grants, Glenlivets or Longmorns are superior, but this is all subtleness, floralness, honeyness and… cakes and teas. Earl grey and amaretti. In short, whisky for your Five O'clock tea in an old Scottish hotel such as The Balmoral in Edinburgh. Touristy, carpet everywhere, incredibly out of fashion and even rather dusty in all senses of that word, but if you never did this, do it at least once. Better book
