Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
ho-ho, this is completely different. Starts on several kinds of herbs (parsley upfront), lemon juice and old walnuts, getting then a little fruitier (peaches) and meatier – the kind of meatiness that only wood can bring to whisky I think (spicy sausages). Then sour apples, paraffin, tofu and spearmint. Unusual, to say the least
restaurant Palate
very powerful but rounded, getting much mellower after a few seconds, oily, thick, almost as citrusy as the Cadenhead that is. Crystallised citrons, nougat, lemon ice cream, Turkish delights and pineapple Jell-O. Very good, youthful fruitiness at almost 30 years of age, but it’s also true that they were probably used to pour Inverleven into refill casks as it was only meant to be fodder for Ballantine’s blends. Long, fresh and hyper-citrusy finish
