Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
oaked white wine
air Nose
you can immediately feel that the cask is much less active in this one but the underlying distillery character is consistent in that the exuberant fruitiness of the 1970s has been dialled down quite a bit. Instead here you have a very gentle profile composed of waxes, ink, light sootiness, toasty cereals, green apple, touches of old cider and some fresh gooseberry. There’s even a slight chalkiness which is very nice. Some white flowers, ripe pear and a hint of lemon oil
restaurant Palate
elegant, drier, and more chiselled that cask 1411. Mineral oil, soft camphor notes, lime oil, cereals, crushed oatcakes and honeyed porridge. An underlying waxy foundation keeps everything well-structured. Some tannins nibble around the edges of the tongue. Some white fruits such as lychee emerge
timer Finish
medium-long. Notes of green banana, baking soda, pear drops and dried herbs
