Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

typical late 80s / early 90s profile, with these soft green and exotic fruits balanced equally alongside dry coal and peat smoke notes. It feels like they have taken aim at a higher ABV, more natural version of the 15-year-old. Very elegant and with a feeling of sophistication

restaurant Palate

a tad simpler, somewhere between the 10 and 15yo of the time, with a few notches more oomph. I find it less medicinal, more towards lemon rind, seawater and soft peat smoke notes. Perhaps a little camphor and cedar wood too, then these familiar smoked tea notes

timer Finish

medium length, thicker peat flavours coming through now and some more classical TCP and iodine notes
