Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
oh, this is so much nicer! Starts on some bold notes of cooked raspberries and ripe bananas, topped with vanilla sauce and light caramel. It then gets sort of meaty and smoky (smoked ham), with also some hints of Sauternes wine. Some Turkish delight, and perhaps a bit of grass, dill and celery. Fresh, complex, and unusual (for a Scotch drinker)
restaurant Palate
nice attack, that starts on some notes of good grappa (and I like good grappa). Very fruity again, on kirsch, pear and cider. Nicely balanced, with perhaps too much fruitiness for somebody who’s used to Scotch, but it’s well made. Then it gets perhaps a bit duller, with quite some caramel, vanilla and wood… before the heavy notes of grappa strike back. The mouth is simpler than the nose, no doubt, but the rather long and balanced finish makes the whole an enjoyable experience. Recommended! 80 points .
