air Nose
it’s insane how this one noses like a less sherried version of the official 25 at first nosing! But then it develops into another direction, more complex than the 1978/79, much more on all things floral and honeyed. Dandelions, nectar, honeycomb, apricot jam, mirabelles, chamomile tea, high-end green tea, a little nutmeg and cinnamon… This could be too oaky on the palate, or maybe not. Let’s see…
restaurant Palate
sure there’s some oak but in no way one could say this is an oaky whisky. It’s all very coherent with the nose, with good oomph and loads of light honey, jams, marmalades and dried fruits. Some cinnamon of course but we’re well below the limits of straight oakiness
timer Finish
rather long, exactly on the same notes. Not any added drying/spicy notes
