Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this one is completely different. Not really big and rather grassier and more resinous than the three ‘vintages’. Also grassier than the older 21 at 47.5% vol. Develops on walnuts, apple pie, leather, hints of raisins and wee floral notes (dandelions?) Hints of wet cloth, damp clay, earth, almond… It’s very nice and subtle but it whispers a bit too much in a tasting glass. It would probably benefit from a large cognac glass (aka fishbowl ;-))
restaurant Palate
creamier and oilier than all three ‘vintages’, probably a little bigger as well but I wouldn’t say it’s ‘big’ whisky. Many citrus fruits (oranges, bergamots), then a ‘greenness’ (apple peeling, fresh walnuts, green tea), some honey (but it’s less honeyed than other HPs) and finally some classic spices. Ginger, cloves and cinnamon
timer Finish
medium long, on just the same notes plus a little pepper
