Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

sweeter and quite softer at first nosing, with indeed a little cane sugar this time (eh?) and much shier peatiness and smokiness. Even more mashed potatoes and grain in this one, the whole getting frankly porridgy after a moment, with even whiffs of horse sweat. Soft and wild at the same time

restaurant Palate

punchier and peatier than on the nose, slightly salty, with also quite some liquorice and earl grey tea (heavily infused). Hints of stout, violet sweets, blackberry jelly. Again this bitterness (more old walnuts here)

timer Finish

long, more ‘peaty and candied’. This one isn’t too winey, but one can feel it’s not ‘regular’ whisky and that ‘something’ happened. I liked the rum version’s cleanliness a little better I must say. 79 points . Another Roman label we made 'just for fun' a few years ago when that famous ‘fake Macallans’ issue occured. Benriach 12 yo 'Importanticus Fumosus' (46%, OB, Peated Port Finish, 2520 bottles, 2007) Do you spot ‘port’ in Importanticus?
