Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
indeed, this is a different story. Sure it is lighter, but it’s also got these lovely notes of old books, old attic, dried porcinis, cigarettes, old wardrobe… Indeed, everything smells ‘old’, and you really have to like that, but it’s a very complex old whisky. I’d add walnuts and mustard, which leads to fino sherry, and a little camphor and mint, which leads to cough syrup. It’s a little fragile, but it’s Time that’s talking
restaurant Palate
no it’s not dead, and it’s not even tired! Having said that the profile is unusual, starting with a lot of speculoos, gingerbread and almond milk. After that, we find more overripe apples with a little cinnamon, as well as quite a lot of marzipan. Or rather salted marzipan, should that exist. It’s solid, it is alive, and its not tired at all. Amazing!
timer Finish
it does become a little tired now, with a finish that’s a little weak, cardboardy and tea-ish, but the marzipan in the background keeps roaring. Apologies, that would be salted marzipan. Something a little dry, metallic and muddy in the aftertaste. Warfare?
