Colour
straw/white wine. No sherry!
air Nose
fabulous, old Macallan without any apparent sherriness, how rare is that? It’s mesmerizing, with an incredible complexity that hints at the best of white Burgundy. No, really. Limestone, grapefruits, honeysuckle, gooseberries, fresh butter, lilac, spearmint, more grapefruits… Perhaps more a great Chablis than a Meursault or a Montrachet so far… Let’s see what happens once water’s been added - because it really keeps punching you after all these years. With water: silex! You just cannot beat this. And myriads of tinier aromas, raw wool, barley, ink, old toolbox, coins, putty, plasticine, marzipan, putty (you're repeating yourself, S.), graphite, asphalt, carbon, brake fluid… Oh, and one tiny green apple

I want to marry this whisky. The purity is insane, everything is just totally perfect. This is utterly grand. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade (long time no see, guys!) With water: incredible purity and intensity
timer Finish
amazing. Lemons, bitter almonds, chalk, nori, citrons…
