Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this is rather simpler and more spirity. Little fruitiness but quite some honey and pollen as well as a little fresh mint. Notes of candle wax and dry white wine, lemon… It does get better with time but fails to become really entertaining. Starts to smell a little like old wine casks after a moment
restaurant Palate
it’s better now but still a little harsh and spirity – and it’s not the alcohol. Typically the kind of well-matured and flawless un-sherried Speysider that’s very good but that isn’t really the big enchilada in a well-organised whisky tasting session. Apple juice, wood, liquorice…
timer Finish
long and rather compact but again, a little too ‘neutral’. But truly flawless. But slightly boring. But it’s very good whisky, no doubt. But, but, but… 80 points . And yes, I tried it with water, it just didn’t change much – but it’s great with Easter chocolate eggs! MUSIC – Hugely recommended listening (jazz): WF favourite Patricia Barber sings Let it rain.mp3 (that's on her 1998 CD Modern cool). Fab, fab, fab. Please buy the lady's music and go to her concerts.
