Tasting Notes
Colour
reddish amber
air Nose
I understand why this baby's got a reputation, as you would almost believe it is Laphroaig. Seriously! Bandages, tiger balm, iodine, seawater, lemon balm, stewed mangos and papayas... But naturally, it would then diverge and move towards 'that beehive', honeys of all origins, sweet meats, apple and quince pies, raisins and crystallised tangerines… all that before a wonderful sherry, full of walnuts and tobacco, would come to the front. Rather extraordinary and you wouldn't even notice the lower strength
restaurant Palate
a notch drying at first (walnut stain, chocolate), but soon to become wonderfully jammy, given that all fruits used were pretty tannic, such as cassis, blackberries, wee apples, pomegranates… Other than that, we have classic fruitcake, raisins, figs, plus spices from the oak (nutmeg and cinnamon) and a touch of cedarwood. Really starts to resemble that other famous Distillery in Speyside, the one that starts with an M; yes I know there are several of them
timer Finish
pretty long, more on coffee and raisins, and with prunes and old brandy in the aftertaste
