Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
ahwowowow! The most subtle and superb combination of dried fruits, everything in a beehive, almond oil and similar smells plus anything preciously woody. To be more precise, we have figs and dates, honeydew and beeswax, almond oil and fresh ‘high-end’ putty and notes of old cupboard, cigar box and old books (or well kept antique shop). It’s all very complex and fantastically mingled, like if it was a very old Sauternes from a great vintage. Totally infectious, I can’t see who wouldn’t adore this nose, even people who usually hate scotch
restaurant Palate
maybe just a tad dry at first sip but then it keeps unfolding in fantastic sequences. Honey and roasted nuts, cake, Corinth raisins, dog rose hips, chewing tobacco, liquorice, bitter chocolate, a little cardamom… Ah well, this is endless and, above all, absolutely not tired despite the low strength
timer Finish
not too long and maybe a tad drier and tea-ish but additional notes of oriental pastries in the aftertaste really make it even more fantastic
