Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

not shy at all, starting on lots of apple juice and cider, with hints of mint and getting then much grainier and mashier (porridge, oatcakes, mashed potatoes), with quite some liquorice to spice the whole up. Certainly pleasant as an everyday malt under Italian climates

restaurant Palate

the attack is pretty nice (nice caramel and toasted brioche) but it’s then very weak and almost falls apart after just two or three seconds, leaving room for some tannins and not much else. No middle and a very short finish, with just these tannins. I don’t know whether that’s a flaw but it’s extremely harmless to say the least. 70 points. Macallan 'Distiller's Choice’ (40%, OB, circa 2004) This version was for Japan
