Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

it’s bigger whisky, with a kind of bigger sherriness (but it’s absolutely no sherry monster), more dried fruits, figs, kumquats, honey… The ‘official’ strength is lower but it’s got more oomph for sure, which doesn’t mean it’s ‘better’, for that matter. There’s also something more briny, with touches of olives and maybe anchovies. A very intriguing nose, I’m very curious about the palate now

restaurant Palate

once again it’s heavier than the 1976 despite the lower strength. I think the oak’s a little louder too, with more obvious cinnamon for instance, but behind that there’s a pretty wonderful range of citrus fruits, both fresh and candied, as well as these notes of honeydew that we already had in the 1976 (nope, that’s not quite heather honey). Mint and liquorice

timer Finish

rather long, with a playful lemony signature that sort of lifts the whole
