Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
interestingly quite smoky and toasted, with some notes of burnt bread and Provence herbs. Develops on strong tea, and cocoa powder, and also some mocha. Interesting!
restaurant Palate
starts more classically, on orange marmalade and chocolate. Develops on cake, getting rather spicy (cinnamon), strong coffee… The finish is a little bitter but in a nice way. A very good Dallas Dhu indeed, really in the 'best style of the Gordon & MaacPhail house' and not tired in any way. 86 points (well earned!). CRAZY RUMOUR: A NEW FINISHING SOON ON THE MARKET? To be honest, we have no clues as for what it's going to be, but our secret photographer just emailed this picture from the courtyard of a famous Highlands distillery. What's sure is that we can see that the casks are 'prepared' with much care, and that they're made out of new, shiny oak, as it appears.. Ah, we can't wait, can we?
