Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
fresh, buttery and floral at first nosing, with hints of fresh mint leaves and cider apples. Quite some oak but it's not tannic. Nice notes of daisies, lilac, peonies… Also quite some vanilla crème. Rather subtle and complex, delicate, maybe even a little shy. Notes of white burgundy (matured in oak), slightly toasted. Also hints of violets. 'Contemplative' as some would say
restaurant Palate
more expressive now, hugely buttery and nutty with again notes of (old) white wine and lots of liquorice and praline crème. Incredibly rawer than on the nose. Develops on cake, overripe apples, orange cake, butter caramel… Nice sourness in he background… A 'wine-malt' indeed. The finish is very long, bold and balanced at the same time, liquoricy and fruity, highly enjoyable. Worth bottling in a decanter, that's for sure! 88 points . Glenlivet 30 yo 1974/2005 (55.3%, Acorn, Japan)
