Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
that was to be expected, and maybe that’s why I haven’t tried this baby before – unconsciously, of course. It’s absolutely lovely. Eucalyptus and grapefruits, coal smoke and beeswax, honey and green bananas, leather polish and not-too-ripe guavas… Everything’s just absolutely perfect. With water: patchouli, old leather (old horse saddle), dried flowers… In short, old aromas that are slowly disappearing from any ‘modern’ vanilla-ridden Scotch
restaurant Palate
massive, yet supremely elegant. Punches you a bit while it arrives, with rocky flavours and quite some green cardamom and green lemon, but this fat-yet-elegant grassiness just works. I used to call this style ‘cactussy’. It’s rather less fruity and easy than the Swiss 1985, but this austere assertiveness (what?) just clicks. With water: milder and more honeyed. Baklavas and citron liqueur
timer Finish
medium, fruitier, citrusy, elegant. Leaves your mouth fresh
