Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

waaah! The most wonderful combination of dried fruits (especially sultanas) with light smoke and cough syrup. There’s this sootiness that’s often to be found in these old malts, some unexpected medicinal notes (embrocations, camphor, incense paper), hints of date liqueur like they make in Turkey (can’t remember the name, maybe ‘date liqueur’?) and then quite some spearmint. All that on a bed of sultanas, figs, longans and just a little thuja wood (resinous). Perfect old malt whisky, deliciously complex yet firm and assertive. Let’s only hope the palate will be half as stunning as this nose

restaurant Palate

sure it’s not as flabbergasting in the attack, as it’s a tad weak, a little cardboardy and much, much grainier. Notes of tea, white pepper, a little cinnamon. Improves after a few minutes, though, becoming rounder and more on dried fruits but without ever matching the memorable nose

timer Finish

short, a little drying. Slightly metallic aftertaste
