Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
again, this is very similar. Maybe a tad more buttery this time, and of course a tad more violent. An extremely wild Highlander, big oiliness. With water: yes, less peat and more butter and vanilla, butterscotch, marzipan, liquorice and mint. Different but in no way less nice – despite a slight soapiness that doesn’t go away with time (usually, soapiness brought with the addition of water fades away within minutes)
restaurant Palate
wowie! Fantastic, much more ‘civilised’ this time despite the extra-4%. More elegant, compact, smooth. Crystallised lemons and almond milk, smoked tea and beeswax. Maybe not hugely complex but what a perfect profile! With water: sweeter than the ‘56’s’ even if we reduced it to the same level (roughly 45% as usual). Again, more compact, more almondy, waxier and a tad less peaty. Superb spices (pepper, even chilli)
timer Finish
oh very long. Almonds and pepper but a little less peat
