Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

probably the shyer one at very first nosing but it gets then closer to the Moon (so to speak), delicately honeyed (acacia) and just a tad less fruity (a little less bananas but more apple skin). The ten extra-years are well here as well, with more oak on the nose (sawdust) and vanilla. The whole is still quite beautiful, just not immensely complex

restaurant Palate

round, creamy and spicy again, with the oak in its full glory. Lots of vanilla, white pepper, nutmeg and ginger, with then quite some mint and even hints of cough syrup. Also beeswax and pollen. Gets slightly biting after a while (horseradish, wasabi) but also kind of phenolic. Maybe there’s a little peat in this one. I must say I like this one’s peppery notes a lot

timer Finish

very long, compact, still very peppery and oaky but it is ‘good’ oak. A very enjoyable dryness in any case. 89 points. Glenlivet 1990/2006 (46%, Jean Boyer ‘One Shot’)
