Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

there’s much less oak in this one, which the colour already suggested. A funny feeling of diesel oil, then kirsch, gooseberries, rhubarb and the obligatory apples. Oh and tons of barley. In other words, a very barleyish malt whisky. With water: more soaked barley. Visiting a malting plant that wouldn’t do peated. Some barley water as well

restaurant Palate

the texture is fatter than that of the 1997, and once again this is rather on the fruity side. Lemons, grapefruits, rhubarb, kiwis and such, plus some grass. With water: fruit syrup galore, and more barley water. It’s become rounder and rather sweeter. Acacia honey

timer Finish

medium length, with rather more oranges, including zests in the aftertaste. Was that Fanta?
