Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this one starts much more on vanilla crème and gets then even smokier than the old 25yo, with also hints of aniseed, celery and cooked salsify. Or is it swede? Gets grassier with time, maybe a little indefinite actually. Quite some caramel and toasted cake – also wet newspaper, which isn’t really good news
restaurant Palate
a rather bold and powerful attack, mostly on liquorice and caramel but it sort of falls apart then and the middle is weaker – and a little grainy
timer Finish
longer now but still a little too caramelly for my tastes, with also something like mint-flavoured liquorice drops. Not bad at all but no winner, I’d say. 78 points . Linkwood 23 yo 1983/2006 (52.1%, Murray McDavid Mission Gold, enhanced in Madeira casks, 700 bottles)
