air Nose
not easy after the OB, it’s rather less aromatic and kind of closed, maybe because of the much higher strength. In fact, it’s certainly more medicinal and mineral but again, it’s a little blocked by the high alcohol – or is it simply very austere in comparison with the superb 30yo? Let’s see... With water: yesss. Everything, wet dogs (we’re all sorry, dogs), a pack of cough lozenges, fresh barley, grapefruits, creosote, pitch, kippers, engine oil, turpentine, carbolineum, fresh clay, citrons, mangos, shoe polish, fireworks… Yes, fireworks indeed
restaurant Palate
hits you right between your eyes. Powerful, immense, dominant, inevitable (what?) Extremely medicinal, it’s almost like drinking some kind of smoked mercurochrome… While some citrus fruits are having a good laugh about you in the background. Little bastards… Anyway, it’s the whisky that has taken control of you, not the other way round. Strange feeling… With water: we’re coming closer to the 30, just with a little less fruits and rather more smoke and oils. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade forthwith!
timer Finish
endless, becoming ashier and smokier. The aftermath of a heavy gunfight
