Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
fresh, a little spirity, starting on notes of tea and something lightly minty (dried mint leaves). Also quite some citronella, lemon balm, developing on vanilla crème and light caramel. We have then whiffs of resin and cooked mushrooms (funny!), plus touches of eucalyptus and lots of various herbal teas (chamomile, linden tree, a little verbena). Not really bolder than the regular expressions (12-15-18) but certainly a little more complex
restaurant Palate
the attack isn’t too bold but neither weak, rather grainy (cereals) and getting quite perfumy (lavender sweet). Quite some wood in the background, a little liquorice and finally something a little bitter – not too nice now, like some strong, un-sugared herbal tea. Notes of orange skin. A rather short, but very herbal and tea-ish finish… Well this one has quite some personality! An interesting dram, no doubt. 79 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - Oldies but goldies (Nick, don't laugh!): 1965, Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie aka Lulu sings Try to understand.mp3 . Wasn't it groooovey? And she's still around, isn't she? Anyway, let's all buy Lulu's music... (unless some have the LP's in their attics...) And no, it's not going to be Petula Clark bext time... Nor Peter Skellern!
