Tasting Notes

Colour

mahogany

air Nose

this is much, much closer to the old OB’s, thanks to the big sherry. Loads of small red fruits (first wild strawberries, which isn’t so common in whisky, then raspberry liqueur, blueberries) and then honeyed oranges, old sweet wine (Sauternes), sultanas, prunes and milk chocolate. All that is very fresh and without any heaviness. A perfect sherried nose, sweet, jammy and very fruity

restaurant Palate

superb attack, smoky and sherried, with big notes of gunpowder and mastic. Huge notes of cinnamon and nutmeg as well, then fruit jams (strawberries and blackcurrants) and strong honey (chestnut). Unusual notes of overripe bitter oranges and herbal liqueurs (Bénédictine)

timer Finish

medium long, drier now, with hints of flour. Just a tad chalky, in fact
