Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
Gold (I know, this hasn't been the most imaginative session when it comes to colours)
air Nose
A whiff of sea air and then an cavalcade of tropical fruits. In fact this one could almost be a 1968 Bowmore of similar age. Just baskets of fresh and tinned fruits with just a lick of peat smoke running throughout. Goes on with greengages, ripe melons, wet pebbles, white pepper, bandages - the list could go on quite some time. Perhaps a little tea tree oil which nods to the wood, although it doesn't feel at all woody on the nose - quite the opposite in fact. The kind of fruity intensity that just doesn't exist in whisky any more
restaurant Palate
A little wood spice, but its precise and clean, a little sourdough yeasty note and some demarara sugar. But overall its like a fruit varnish has coated your tongue. Perhaps the strength feels a tad weakish but its not tired, just a bit misty eyed. Some pineapple, sap, lemon oil, dried herbs and even some notes of rancio as well. Starts to resemble some of these old G&M pre-war glories on the palate
timer Finish
alas, it's not the longest but the tropical aspects echo beautifully
