Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber, with faint reddish hues
air Nose
curiously more discreet than the 1986 at first nosing, but getting rather similar after a few minutes. A little rubberier and also more winey, growing hotter. Gets very orangey and coffeeish, with the distillery’s markers still there but toned down (melon). Smells of oriental pastry, getting very fragrant and almost perfumy (orange water, musk) and bubblegummy, with a strong layer of toffee and caramel. Whiffs of menthol. Not exactly my type but rather complex and nicely ‘made’
restaurant Palate
more balanced and fruitier than the 1986 this time, with lots of cooked fruits (strawberries, apricots), crystallised oranges and tangerines, praline, but also quite some fresh fruits (very ripe peaches). A bit of rubber again… Develops on some very nice hints of camphor and spearmints… Not the most complex ever but definitely a nice version with not too much wine influence – thank you. The finish is quite long and bold, very balanced, on fruitcake. Very nice palate! 86 points . Bruichladdich 1992/2005 'Extra Strength' (50%, Wilson & Morgan)
