Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

starts somewhat similar to the 1986 but there’s much more bourbon influence after that, with much more vanilla and soft spices (curry, ginger, nutmeg, white pepper), as if it was from a first fill bourbon cask and not refill. Quite some honey as well but the usual fruitiness is kind of hidden behind the cask here. Maybe water will unleash it? With water: thank god it works way better than with the 1986, even if it does get grassier indeed. Hay, almonds, seaweed and linseed oil

restaurant Palate

we’re extremely close to the 1986 here. Punchy, grassy and almondy, with notes of apples in the background (yeah, copy and paste.) Also hints of bubblegum and pear drops. With water: again, we’re quite close to the 1986. It’s maybe a tad fruitier, more on ripe strawberries and very ripe peaches. More spices as well (ginger), as well as nice honeyed notes

timer Finish

rather long, more on fruit liqueurs, cinnamon and vanilla fudge
