Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold, slightly paler than the 35yo
air Nose
no wonder this one is rather close to the 34yo at first nosing, but it gets then rather drier and a bit more candied at the same time. A little more towards the ‘malty/coffeeish’ zone, if you see what I mean. Less youthful in a certain way, with less floral notes but the same slightly camphory and resinous whiffs. A little less great but still high class
restaurant Palate
very, very similar to the 34yo now, even if it’s rather drier again. Same kind of saltiness. Now, it does display a little more oomph and a fuller body after a while, getting even sort of big. Very good ‘resinous’ touches (mastic, mint flavoured chewing tobacco – well, last time I tried that it was 30 years ago). Excellent notes of salted liquorice as well
timer Finish
longer and fuller than the 34, on mint tea, liquorice and a little gentian. By the way, last week I tried to chew gentian roots (for WF research purpose of course) and believe me, it was… horrible, whilst gentian spirit is usually a thrill
