Tasting Notes

air Nose
ah, now we’re talking! Starts on superb notes of metal polish, old leather and tobacco pouch, pumpkin soup and yoghurt. Sounds weird but it isn’t, honest. More and more metal polish (I don’t know if you know this thing called Glanzol, any motorcycle rider should own a tube!), used coins, bitter oranges... It’s hard to make a difference between what comes from bottle ageing and what comes from the original spirit here but what’s sure is that it’s great whisky!
restaurant Palate
oh yes, this is great. Bizarrely, it’s a style of whisky that one can find in many of these great old dumpy Cadenheads. Fantastic herbs (chives, sage), something metallic again, liquorice, crystallised oranges and lemons, marzipan, our beloved argan oil... Okay, the whole is maybe not in its prime, and maybe slightly tired (gets a bit drying) but it’s still a very palatable drink – not only for whisky archaeologists like we are
timer Finish
not too long and probably a bit too drying at this point but who cares?
