Tasting Notes

Colour

dark straw

air Nose

lots of milk chocolate, burnt caramel, cake. More and more milk chocolate and fudge. Mocha, cappuccino… Even some Bailey’s, Alexander. Very enjoyable. Gets then very fruity, on ripe strawberries and sabayon. Orange flowers. Refined and very elegant!

restaurant Palate

bold, powerful, compact, nervous… Great! Lots of fruity notes, apple juice, pear juice, watermelon… Light caramel… gets a bit tannic and peppery after a moment. Sure the palate is les complex than the fantastic nose but it’s still enjoyable. Long finish, perhaps just a bit too sugary. Water doesn’t work; it makes the malt even more sugary and ‘simple’. Anyway, 87 points for this very good surprise. Bunnahabhain 20 yo 1979/1999 (57%, James MacArthur Old Masters, cask #9677)
