Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
I like my ex-Port whisky when it’s not ridden with clashing raspberries and assorted other red berries, and that’s not the case at all here. It’s a rather earthy one, with notes of black pipe tobacco, prunes, an old cake of Pu-erh tea, a little tar, and quite some old Armagnac. No straight Port notes, that’s cool (and yes I’m fond of Port wine). With water: raisins and raisin cakes, currant buns, sesame seed loaves, a little hay…
restaurant Palate
rich, very powerful, and this time there are bags of raspberries, crème de cassis, black raisins, and in the background, quite a lot of cracked black pepper and cloves. Works well but it’s a little aggressive so far. Nothing abnormal. With water: still not totally polished (by time) and a wee bit ‘PX-y’, but certainly very good. Remind me of many a youngish Glendronach
timer Finish
long and spicier. More black pepper, cinnamon, Seville oranges, bitter herbs…
