Tasting Notes

Colour

dark amber

air Nose

not my first lovely middle-aged sherried Glenlivet by Signatory Vintage. This one’s moderately gamy/meaty, but it’s got tobacco and smoked teas, plus a molassy rumness and a touch of mint. A Jamaican-Andalusian Glenlivet? Sort of. Really like the oranges and the toffee-ed raisins

restaurant Palate

perfect. Pipe tobacco, orange liqueur, drops of Demerara rum, overripe apples, then more drying chocolate. Van Houten’s old cocoa powder. Nice grassy tropical fruits. Mango skin, perhaps?

timer Finish

medium, a wee tad drying, but the grassy/orangey freshness works well. A touch of ham and drying oak in the aftertaste
