Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

punchy, clean, much more waxy and flinty than the 1996. Goes on with notes of cut green apple and even kiwi but there’s a little rubber again (picked blind twice, in both malts). Struck matches. With water: more lemon now, almost as much as in the 1996. Grassier than when neat but more polished as well

restaurant Palate

very punchy but rounder and creamier than the 1996, with much more vanilla, probably from the bourbon cask. Notes of kirsch and plum spirit. Needs water. With water: more kirsch and more lemon again but also a slightly strange bitterness (peach tree leaves?) Raw fresh oak?

timer Finish

longer, almost as zesty as the 1996 but a tad metallic this time. Also vanilla custard
