Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
guess what, this isn’t really more expressive than the old 25yo. Now, there’s more wood for sure, more ‘English club smells’ (that is to say leather, wood and cigar smoke – before the smoking ban of course), more honey and beeswax... Grows bolder after that, with some sherry coming through, mead, all sorts of honeys, even pollen, apricot jam, orange marmalade... Lacks a little complexity, that is. Expressive but slightly monodimensional, even if some nice notes of fresh parsley do arise after a while
restaurant Palate
it’s obviously a bigger whisky than the 1941. Thick, creamy, rich, almost explosive and going into all directions, dried fruits, prunes, honey, smoke, cake, liquorice, oranges... All that is quite beautiful but also slightly rough, especially when compared to many superb official single casks that were distilled in the 1970’s
timer Finish
long, both spicier (cloves, a little mustard) and sweeter (fructose)
