Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
a fairly similar attack on the nose, with the same rubbery notes as well as a little tar, but this one is easier on the fruitcake and harder on marmalade and quinces. Nice notes of marzipan and leather (the Ferrari’s seats, I guess) coming through after a while. With water: same kind of development as with the OB. Please re-read above ;-)
restaurant Palate
exactly the same comments as for the nose, there are many similarities with the OB but this one is easier on the sherry hence a tad more playful. Very oily, with some bitter oranges, marzipan again, something between pine resin and rubber (just hints), some liquorice… Still a big, thick Macallan. With water: excellent. Spices, pepper, many dried fruits, touches of sweet mustard, blackcurrants…
timer Finish
long, slightly resinous, coating, with some marzipan and marmalade in the aftertaste
