Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
it’s younger and simpler than the 1401s, one can feel that there isn’t any old whisky inside. Yeah, oldness starts at 25 with whisky, in my opinion – even if aging is anything but linear, agreed. Now simpler doesn’t mean very nice, and in this case it is very nice, on chocolate and cake. Ovaltine, prunes… With water: a bowl full of Mars bars! A little pipe tobacco too
restaurant Palate
good and, once again, pretty simple, on more Ovaltine, more chocolate, and more coffee liqueur. Drops of raspberry spirit. Oh and ‘simple’ is no bad word as far as whisky’s concerned, better simple and balanced than complex and unbalanced. Well, I agree, that depends… With water: brown ale, malt, Ovaltine, brunt raisins (overbaked brioche) and more spices. Cinnamon cake, clove, nutmeg…
timer Finish
rather long, rather on mulled wine, marmalade, and more cakes. We’re approaching Xmas time, aren’t we?
