Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
rounder yet, rather with raisins and cakes this time, and this leafy thing that often comes from sherry casks, beyond anything raisiny. Some menthol too, menthol cigarettes, peach leaf tea, then more humus, earth, and the obligatory heather honey. With water: gets more barley-y, malty, and slightly yeasty (which I always enjoy)
restaurant Palate
speaks bourbon rather then sherry this time. Some rather sublime notes of fir honey, granny smith, a hint of sandalwood, and always this humussy earthiness. With water: a tad rounder than the 1989, but this zestiness is perfect. Do they grow lemon trees on Orkney? Don’t laugh, I know where to find some in Scotland!
timer Finish
medium, perfect, with honey, brine, and granny smith again. Works a treat
