Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

fennel, old paper, old wood. Some citrus notes. Quite enjoyable, but far from being a stunner

restaurant Palate

quite sugarish, with quite a lot of tannins. Hints of white fruits. A little thin, but rather good, although nowhere near the now old 18yo. 80 points . Too bad I couldn’t taste the new 18 yo ‘sherry’ (picture above). Macallan 30 yo (43%, OB, circa 1998) I didn't have this one at WhiskyLive, but at ‘Le Market’, fellow Alsatian Jean-Georges Vongerichten ’s new ‘fusion food’ restaurant on Avenue Matignon
