Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
much more powerful ‘of course’, even maybe a little brutal at first nosing. Oak, bananas, vanilla, fresh butter and a little smoke again. Then a little varnish coming through (usually, I find that varnish comes out first but not here). Gets grassier after that, as well as fruitier (granny smith), with also hints of muesli and wet stones. 37 years old you say? Botoxed? ;-)
restaurant Palate
rather better on the palate, close to the 1968 but of course punchier and with added notes of liquorice, coriander and dill. Huge sweetness and excellent fruitiness (crystallised pineapples, golden delicious apples), also more pepper than in the 1968. Big whisky
timer Finish
long, sweet, with ‘good’ acridity now that compensates the sweetness
