Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

boy, it’s not that this one won’t kill you. Exquisitely complex, floral and mineral, ridden with tobacco, camphor, honeysuckle, elderberries… And all that. It is what we could call ‘a tertiary whisky’, there are myriads of tiny aromas. Let’s only hope the palate won’t be too tired after all these years (and this low strength)…

restaurant Palate

not-at-all. Fabulous arrival, on olive oil, citrons, waxes, chamomile, a greasy mineral side, perhaps plasticine… And it would go on, with chartreuse, some kind of flavourful glycerin, a touch of ham and smoked fish, high-end green tea… It really is amazing. Now remember that ages were just numbers at that time, and that many whiskies were actually older. Think Springbank from that era!

timer Finish

medium, splendidly earthy, waxy, and citrusy
