Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

same cluster as that of the official 12, with the same dry sherryness, iron, sea water, kelp, malt, walnuts, leaves, a little umami sauce, fino… With water: a little gunpowder, then malt extract, Marmite, walnut wine…

restaurant Palate

isn’t it fascinating that this baby would almost be the OB at a higher strength? Creamy, with the sherry upfront, nuts, raisins, tobacco, salty touches, wee bits of leather, a tiny touch of horseradish… With water: really, the official 12! Walnuts, manzanilla, tobacco, touches of leather again, a touch of curry (mussels simmered in curry sauce, yummy!) In the background, a classic of Bunnahabhain, Ovaltine/Ovomaltine and a pinhead of peanut butter

timer Finish

rather long, with a smoky touch and just more malty things
