Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

there's one Macallan that I'll always keep in my mind, it is the older 30 years old blue-label/blue-box, despite all the fakes that abound. This is similar. Wonderful nuttiness, a wee buttery – not butyric - side that's adding texture to the nose, plus a lot of citrus, from kumquats to citrons, and raisins, figs and dates. I'll say it, it's pretty much liquid fruitcake this far. Tiny touches of pipe tobacco, cured ham and prunes popping out after a few minutes

restaurant Palate

it does saponify a wee bit as soon as you get it in your mouth, only to get then rounder although closer to tea and oak, with dry spices, coffee beans, dark chocolate and just torrefaction. Chewing honeycomb, A.K.A. the beekeepers' chewing gum. Orange blossom water

timer Finish

long and more on triple-sec, coffee and figs, which I find very Macallan too. Clove in the aftertaste
