Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
much rounder and softer on the nose to start with, clearly very influenced by the wines, but the combination with the smokiness of the distillate works well. We've noticed several times that peat and Madeira can work quite well together. There's wood smoke, smoked herrings, oranges, sweet mustard, and strawberry-filled chocolate... In short, it seems to be a pleasant recipe. With water: not much change. I find this concoction quite likeable
restaurant Palate
it initially feels like an old fino or a dry PX from Malaga, for example, but it then becomes increasingly sweet. With water: it's more peppery, but still as soft. Lots of orange jam, figs... The salinity of the distillate balances all this nicely
timer Finish
long, balanced, the malt holding up well against the onslaught of the wines until the end
