Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
an avalanche of honey and tinned pineapples! Many (great) old Glengoynes that I could try were much more influenced by the casks whilst this is as fruity and pleasantly, say ‘ethereal’ as malt whisky can get. Yet, there is some vanilla and there are some soft spices but the extreme ‘light honeyness’ is spectacular. Develops more on sultanas and plum jam. With water: gets rather more tropical, with notes of pina colada, that is to say more coconut and pineapples. Superb, with an extreme freshness. Having said that, it has a tendency to fade away a bit
restaurant Palate
very oily, almost thick, starting on sultanas and crystallised pineapple, with quite some honey again and just touches of pine resin sweets. The spiciness is bigger than on the nose, with some pepper, ginger and hints of cloves. Extremely more-ish when neat. Nougatine. With water: a tad closer to the OB now, with more notes of orange blossom water, tangerine liqueur, coconut liqueur and a little green pepper
timer Finish
rather long, the citrus notes managing to balance the oakiness that starts to emerge
