Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
just superb at first nosing, more austere and dry than cask #627 but also more elegant, more complex. Lots of bitter chocolate and coffee plus mint and then we have truckloads of coconuts, almond paste and macaroons. Resembles some of the greatest new style rums (Savanna), with a perfect balance. There’s a little less peat than in cask #627 but more mint and more nice fresh wood. Great
restaurant Palate
thicker, fruitier and more assertive. Lots of apricot jam, ripe mirabelle plums, less tannins and wood. Develops on nougat, Irish coffee, then hints of horseradish and pepper, a little peat… Maybe not overly complex but the balance is perfect
timer Finish
long, now rather woodier and tannic, maybe the less distinctive part but the whole is another excellent old Glen Garioch. 90 points , well deserved. MUSIC – Recommended listening: an amazing hard funk funk made by Betty Davis in 1975. Betty was... Miles' wife! It's also said she had an affair with Jimi Hendrix. This piece is simply called F-U-N-K.mp3 . February 13, 2007 TASTING - SEVEN OLD HIGHLAND PARKS Highland Park 30 yo 1973 (47.8%, OB, Matthew Forrest Collection, sherry cask #11207, 520 bottles)
