Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
starts more obviously winey right away, on big notes of raisins as well as the same kind of flintiness as in the ’48.6%’. Develops towards plain wine notes, mostly along the ‘Madeira – yellow wine’ styles. Dry tobacco, leather, old spices. It’s as if it was a little tired but the palate will tell
restaurant Palate
no it isn’t. It’s a rich and almost thick kind of sherry now, with a rather unusual twist, that is to say organic notes that one won’t usually find in sherried whiskies. Mostly mushroomy/moist notes… Also hints of cured ham. Otherwise it’s all prunes and fruit liqueurs and chocolates and coffee and toffee. A tad heavy actually, but very good
timer Finish
very long, spicier. Ginger and pepper over prunes
