Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
mahogany
air Nose
stunningly nutty, with some bold notes of roasted peanuts, hot praline, and a beautiful, highly concentrated but not ‘sluggish’ sherry. Great notes of old books, candles, old Bourgogne wine, old rancio… Getting then minty as well, with quite some camphor and eucalyptus and lots of balsamic vinegar. Some beautiful maritime notes (raw clams, scallops) and finally the most cherished notes of old Italian ham (Parma). Beautiful!
restaurant Palate
lots of body, lots of oomph, lots of sherry, lots of mint again. Very citrusy and waxy, with again these notes of grapefruit, pineapples, melon and bananas. Lochside is well here, despite the heavy sherry! Gets more and more meaty again (smoked ham), with also quite some clove. Let’s try it with water (… while the nose gets smokier…): it got creamier, even more balanced, with lots of coffee caramel, Werther’s Originals… It works! The finish is as long as expected, mostly on orange marmalade. A sherried beauty, the distillery really having its say here. 93 points (tie!) (and thanks Olivier) . MUSIC – Recommended listening - Don't we like a silly little rock and roll tune from time to time, like Detroit's Electric Six doing Gay bar.mp3 ? Please buy these guys' music!
