Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
extreme honey, honey and... toffee at first sniffing, extremely spectacular in that sense. My dear father is a part-time beekeeper and believe me, this smells exactly like when you open a honey-loaded beehive in the middle of summer – minus the stings, that is. Gets then a little more ‘antique’, with notes of newly polished leather, old furniture, linseed oils, even a little turpentine... Now, it’s not overly complex whisky, and we’ve had several old 8yo ‘cubes’ that were more exciting. But what a, err, honeyed malt!
restaurant Palate
curiously rougher and wilder at the attack, not too complex and much less honeyed. More on cherry spirit actually, mirabelle spirit, orange marmalade and dried ginger
timer Finish
long, still a bit harsh and lacking the ‘unctuousness’ that’s usually associated with this distillery
