air Nose
isn't it quite striking how the early 1970s are very different from the late 1970s at many distilleries? Indeed there are many more fruits here, it's actually a large fruit salad, with pears (but not too much!), oranges, gooseberries, melons, bananas, peaches... What's more, the oak's quite light, there's just a little cinnamon and the usual white pepper. Maybe a little fresh coriander too? Nice and clean, pleasantly uncomplicated. And that's not just the bourbon wood
restaurant Palate
even more fruit salad on a bed of vanilla, honey and white pepper, with only touches of ginger. So bananas, peaches, ripe pears, a little coconut, passion fruits... Well there are tropical fruits but it remains globally 'western' as far as the fruits are concerned
timer Finish
good length, the oak's starting to show more but all that is under control. Rather easily
