Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
one immediately thinks of an amontillado that would have been aged in Sanlucar, with a very pronounced saline side. New tyres are also back, as well as walnut stain, parsley, rosemary, salted butter caramel, old leather, sweet mustard, cigars... There's also a bit of molasses, in the style of old Demerara rums, notes of slightly burnt cake, ointments, balms, camphor... It's a real whirlwind but the whole remains very solid, firmly rooted in its native terroirs of Islay and Jerez
restaurant Palate
incredibly rich and oily, almost thick, with a very dry sherry, very much on nuts and curry, and also an old vin jaune side. Overall, the palate remains much more compact than the nose, which is quite usual
timer Finish
very long, with a strong return of peat smoke, ashes, saltiness, seaweed... While tar and salted liquorice come back like a spring in the aftertaste, with some currants
