Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

very subtle and elegant, with deep floral tones, roses, irises, some sandalwood, perhaps distant whiffs of church incense, certainly some soft honey (acacia, also acacia flowers), honeysuckle… I know some ladies may consider this being sexist, but apologies, I think this is a rather feminine nose. And a beautiful one at that

restaurant Palate

a few bits and pieces of pencil shavings at first, then some kind of cake filled with stewed red apples, raisins, and fresh mint leaves. All that is covered with the same honey as in the nose. A very soft malt, extremely approachable and drinkable. The strength is perfect given the style

timer Finish

medium, a wee bit spicier. Anis biscuits and amaretti
