Tasting Notes

Colour

orangey amber

air Nose

typical flinty and leathery peat/sherry combo. Orange marmalade in the background. Gets then a tad acidic and curiously winey, with an unexpected rancio and even some vinegar. That’s strange, other recent batches have been much cleaner (2007, 2009)

restaurant Palate

creamy, smooth at first, with a moderate peatiness but a lot of leather and toasts coming out soon after that. Quite some salt as well, bitter oranges, old walnuts, strong liquorice, tar…

timer Finish

long, bold, very tarry. Strong black tea, heavy pudding…
