Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
well, they may have made a mistake here—surely this is a cask from the 1960s? It certainly has that wonderfully honeyed, delicately minty profile, with tiny hints of camphor and grapefruit liqueur, rounded off by moss, ferns, and the smell of a freshly opened pack of cigarettes (you know, the ones doctors used to prefer in old adverts). Gentle whiffs of old wood, a dusty wine cellar, perhaps even a touch of morels. Absolutely masterful, this 1968… I mean, 1988
restaurant Palate
a little more robust and rustic, as one might expect, but still magnificent, with very ripe apples, maybe a couple of raspberries, apricot, honey, a hint of lavender sweets, a touch of pink pepper, and then some orange marmalade and quince paste. At no point do the 43.8% ABV feel a tad too low
timer Finish
almost long, still beautifully honeyed, with a few sultanas and a hint of orange blossom water. A trace of smoke lingers on the aftertaste
