Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it really pleases me that I’ve been wrong yet again. Even if the high strength (my, it lost 2% alcohol within thirty years!) may block or mask quite a few aromas, you do feel a lot of honey, tarte tatin, and just crème brulée. A good sign… With water: a few whiffs of sawdust here and there, otherwise some classic nutty and raisiny notes, as well as quite some beeswax if not straight honey
restaurant Palate
very strong, very good! Chocolate, honey, and touches of young super-fruity Comté cheese. Totally love this, hope it’ll stay once water’s been added. With water: I like the palate rather better than the nose, I have to say, not something that happens very often with old whiskies. But is 30 really old? Cakes, scones, muffins and shortbread, a little honey sauce, and actually some straight all-flower honey. And some malt
timer Finish
medium, really malty, chocolaty… I suppose you could pour this over pancakes! A wee meatiness in the aftertaste. Malt extract?
