Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
starts with many mushrooms and some old leather, plus whiffs of old copper kettle. Some charming OBE to be found, this one really noses as if it was mostly old bottles that have been re-decanterised (!). Also balsa wood, going towards shoe polish
restaurant Palate
powerful, rather peppery, and always quite metallic (copper again). We’re rather far away from the distillery’s contemporary style? Chestnut purée, cinnamon, white pepper, a little bitter caramel. I suppose they added some younger whiskies to make it a little brighter and less dry/drying. Some shoe polish to be found again
timer Finish
slightly bitter and woody, long, with some chlorophyll and walnut stain. Provence herbs in the aftertaste
