Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
fine oloroso. I’m not sure the distillate has much to say in this context, but I also remember some wonderful totally oloroso-ed Bruichladdich 1964. Or was it 1965? Chocolaty and flinty, with pipe tobacco and bitter oranges (skins). With water: perfect game-y, bacony, chocolaty, walnutty sherry. Could have been almost any unpeated distillate, but the end result is superb. Great sherry cask
restaurant Palate
huge and pretty perfect, mentholated and bacony. Strong snuff tobacco, leather, dried cardamom, bitter oranges, caraway. Plenty. With water: a perfect sweet and sour soup, Thai-style ;-). Really very very good
timer Finish
its always in the finishes that things may go awry, and it indeed it’s becoming a little rougher and perhaps a tad too grassy/herbal, but as a friend uses to say, you could always pour another dram before the finish even starts. Let alone the aftertaste (which is perhaps a tad bitter)
