Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

quite bizarrely, it’s a light and yet pretty fragrant Glenlivet that’s rather making eyes at Glenmorangie. I do find notes of raisiny cognac indeed (but are raisiny cognacs the best? That’s another story…) as well as the usual cereals, biscuits, pancake syrup and ripe apples. Quite some custard too. It’s pleasant, yet not quite earthshattering

restaurant Palate

rather towards marmalade and anise cookies, raisin rolls, cinnamon powder, a little sawdust as well. It’s not as well rounded and aromatic as on the nose, but I suppose that’s the fate of any entry-level NAS these days. Triple sec

timer Finish

a little short but pleasant, rather caky and on apple pie
