Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

we’re somewhere in the style of the old Cadenhead’s, except that this one isn’t ‘Glenfarclas’ at all anymore. I’m not saying it’s not nice, quite the contrary, but it really smells like an old Balvenie (which certainly isn’t a flaw!) So apricots, vanilla, mirabelles, acacia honey and just touches of linseed oil. Also whiffs of broken branches and cut grass. With water: more putty, paraffin, old papers (with ink), hay… Nice, too bad it tends to lose steam now, to the point where it got almost silent. After, say ten minutes

restaurant Palate

same feeling, it’s not unlike a Balvenie, except that this one is a little more tropical (papayas rather than mangos and such). Very sweet. Also crystallized pineapples, barley sugar, rhubarb wine… It’s even quite zesty, I must say (right, rhubarb). With water: no loss of power this time. A lot of barley sugar and maybe touches of Turkish delights, rose-flavoured tea, grenadine…

timer Finish

medium to short but pretty clean, sweet and fruity. Tagada strawberries
