air Nose
it seems to confirm that the most mythical vintages were indeed those from 1964 to 1967, with of course some majestic exceptions before and after this short period. Nonetheless, this impression of a fruit juice cocktail raised by the seaside is simply irresistible. From mangos to prickly pears, through clementines, blood oranges, papayas, and guavas (in moderation), here is the journey of this sumptuous bouquet that elevates your soul and soothes your mind. Or maybe it's the other way around. Some aspects also remind us of old Bushmills malts. A few touches of eucalyptus and old chartreuse and Bénédictine complete this olfactory work of art
restaurant Palate
taut, rather herbal and marked by blue-green teas at first, then fruitier, but with a perfect balance that goes through pink pepper, candied lemon, borage, and then those very Bowmore-like exotic fruits which it becomes pointless to list once again
timer Finish
of medium length and sprinkling quality fruity tisanes, eglantine, a bit of green earl grey, jasmine, peach leaf, and finally airplane mango that makes a majestic return on the retro-olfaction
