Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

do not expect a big sherriness such as in the older tens or twelves from the 1990s or early 2000s, it’s rather a slightly grainy/malty whisky at first nosing. Having said that, there’s also very nice notes of fresh oranges and vetiver, with something clearly perfumy but in a very nice way. Green oranges (or Eau d'Orange Verte by Hermès, baby). In short, a fresh, interesting nose

restaurant Palate

much old style sherry on the palate, with raisins and honeydew, Demerara sugar, cornflakes… And then we’re back to oranges, oriental pastries (with a lot of orange blossom water) and a little marzipan. Works very well

timer Finish

medium long, honeyed, with a little clove and carvi in the aftertaste
