Flavor Profile
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
