Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
an amazingly precise orangey profile, within which lurks many variations of orange juice, orange peels, top class marmalades and aged orange liqueurs such as Cointreau. Add to that a gorgeous underlying waxiness, some ripe yellow plums, pure honeycomb and an increasingly wide-spectrum fruitiness that starts to display dried exotic fruits, muesli, pine resins and spearmint. Quite beautiful! With water: more crystalised, slightly drier, even a hint of acidity - a stunning freshness in other words. Develops some vibes of very old dry Chenin Blanc and Riesling, along with many more subtle waxes, breads and tea notes
restaurant Palate
amazing power and density upon arrival! Waxiness of texture, amazing body in the mouth, chestnut and flower honeys galore, beeswax, then an encroaching saltiness that brings to mind very similar feelings as in the Giaccone 15yo. One of those flavour profiles where there is so much going on and you cannot 'see the joins' between all these different characteristics so you feel a little overwhelmed - in the best sense! A whisky that takes the driving seat. With water: perfect! Amazing waxy and bready qualities, crystalised honey, pure honeycomb and beeswax, lanolin, camphor, hessian, wood spices and cedar boxes full of unlit cigars
timer Finish
beautifully long, with persistent salty notes, mineral oils, herbal teas and almost going full circle back towards bitter orange marmalades full of spices
