Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
whiffs of sulphur at first nosing (ha ha!) but that’s not a problem here, quite the contrary, that adds depth. Bicycle inner tube, then orange peel, tangerines above everything, peonies, lilies, and a whole jeroboam of well-vintaged Sauternes. Which, naturally, comes with apricots and quinces. Let’s be honest, this is a stunning nose that reminds me of the Macs that used to be distilled in the 1950s. Pretty brilliant indeed
restaurant Palate
okay, okay, okay. Even if this is more old Cognac than malt whisky, I’d say it’s brilliant, with even more ripe peaches and apricots, totally in the Cognac way. I’m finding a little rancio, a dollop of chestnut liqueur, and hints of orange blossom and rose waters. You could pour this over some brioche, or better yet, proper artisanal vanilla ice cream
timer Finish
long, a tad grape-y, with notes of pipe tobacco and Timut pepper
