Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

this is more chocolaty and pleasantly coffeeish at first nosing. ‘Peated orange marmalade over a baked pheasant’ (well...) Goes on with leather, cigar tobacco and maybe hints of dill. With water: more of the same, which is excellent news

restaurant Palate

ah yes, now we’re talking. Punchy PE, better balanced than all the former ones, even if there’s quite some rubber again. Also the fruitiest one (cherry jam, cassis, even ripe gooseberries.) Big spices in the background and also a lot of pepper. Very, very big, not for the faint-hearted as they say. With water: it got almost perfect now. Peated, spicy orange marmalade. Impressive cleanliness for a sherry-matured whisky

timer Finish

long and superb. Totally satisfying
