Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

this is what you never get in newer bottlings (in any of the aforementioned names); meat, bouillons, tertiary notes, old jams, old wines and meads, and all things chestnutty. Not that those are mandatory in any whisky, but when they do show up, you’re in for a treat. Which is the case here, as you may have guessed. Some wee whiffs of pinewood smoke too, that always works. With water: h.o.n.e.y.s.! And pipe tobacco, third-tier marmalade, marzipan, and amaretti

restaurant Palate

glorious, as expected. Many fruits, jams, jellies, chutneys, salty and spicy things, marrows, greases, soups… And spices as well. Caraway and tarry nuts (tarry nuts?) With water: oh no, these small herbs and flowers, woodruff, angelica, mullein, spearmint!

timer Finish

it’s absolutely amazing that this baby would have developed this many tiny herbs and flowers. That’s the sign of a grand aged spirit, and not something you would find very often in simpler contemporary offerings. Chocolate, smoke, chicken bouillon and orange blossom water in the aftertaste
