Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

it’s the oak that talks first here, somewhat in the style of some old grains, with quite some coconut (and the liqueurs made thereof), vanilla and these faintly sour notes that can be very enjoyable – they certainly are here. The whole goes more towards floral, herbal and mentholated notes after that, with also hints of eucalyptus, honeysuckle and lime-blossom. Also whiffs of warm honey and quite some pollen. A great example of an ‘oaked’ whisky that’s not oaky, that is to say too dry and plankish

restaurant Palate

not tired, not oaky, not dry and rather moderately spicy, which is almost a miracle at 43 years of age. Great notes of tangerines and even a little passion fruits, tinned pineapples, then more liquorice wood

timer Finish

medium long and oakier, which is completely normal. Cinnamon, white pepper, nutmeg… Quite some green tea in the aftertaste, slightly tannic
