Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

it's nice, it's simple, it's all about brioche, barley and bread dough. There's not much to add, perhaps some pear poached in sweet wine

restaurant Palate

it's more rustic, but it's good. There's more depth to it than in the big-name Speysiders of the same age, I find, but it's further away from the coastal ones (BN, HP, Cl, OP...). In short, it's in between the two

timer Finish

medium length, with coffee coming from the cask charring (I presume)
