Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine. straw
air Nose
oh this is nice, we have plenty of fresh walnuts, seaweed and apple skins (just like in the 2001) and then coal smoke, smoked tea, hints of mangos, pink grapefruits and then a little cut grass. Perfect. With water: even more perfect, all the fruits have come to the front. We won’t list the all but mangos and passion fruits are obvious. Wasn’t this a 1966? Wrong papers? Wrong stencilling? Also fresh hazelnuts after a few minutes
restaurant Palate
h-u-r-r-a-y! Ideal balance between citrus fruits and smoke and coastal stuff. Immense zesty Bowmore, very smartly selected by our Japanese friends. It doesn’t need water but procedures procedures… With water: a few wee violety touches come out but other than that, it remains quite perfect
timer Finish
long and briny. A little grenadine, perhaps?
