Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

fresh, light and grainy. A little spirity, with lots of flowery notes: violet, lilac. Develops on sour crème and hot butter. Hints of overripe orange. Really different from the former 10 yo ‘sherry’. Smells like a good Lowlander (Rosebank?) Surprisingly enjoyable!

restaurant Palate

nice attack on caramel, roasted peanuts, malt, but not much development. Quite rounded, with hints of vanilla. Quite nervous, still, and sort of satisfying. Alas, the finish is rather short and leaves nothing but a few tannins on your tongue. Don’t get me wrong; it’s still quite enjoyable! 78 points . Macallan 12 yo 'Fine Oak' (40%, OB, 2004)
