Tasting Notes

straw
air Nose
we’re more or less between both worlds here, as it’s got both the citrusy, herbal and coastal notes of the 1985 and 1986 and the flinty and waxy notes of the 1982. The whole is quite austere but very elegant. Notes of a newly opened pack or orange drops coming through after a while, but no pear or pineapple. With water: opens up like some hungry scallop (I’m sorry) and gets quite coastal. A plate of oysters with some lemon and kelp. A little vanilla
restaurant Palate
more or less the same whisky as the 1982. Just as big. Maybe a tad more resinous. With water: this one swims better than the 1982, even if it gets even more resinous – and you have to like that. Some salmiak, strong tea (tannins), bitter oranges, hints of Jägermeister…
timer Finish
very long but remember that German saying? Huge notes of pine sap drops in the aftertaste
