Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold/pale amber
air Nose
again, this isn’t a very expressive HP at first nosing, even if it’s straighter and maybe a little more elegant than the 1979. Gets suddenly extremely orangey, with huge notes of orange liqueur, bitter oranges and Fanta. Whiffs of gunpowder and wet earth. Again, much straighter than the 1979 in spite of these big orangey notes. With water: there’s a little rubber now but it quickly disappears. It’s a little more vegetal globally (as often after reduction with water.) ‘Cleanly orangey’
restaurant Palate
very rich, candied, thick, starting all on jams (oranges again, plums, apricots…) and developing on nougat, honey and vanilla fudge. Almost ‘spoonable’. With water: we’re very close to very good officials now, the distillery being rather easily recognisable. ‘Phenolically honeyed’ (and what else?)
timer Finish
long and smooth at the same time, even more ‘OB’ now
