Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

quite spirity, on full freshly cut apple mode. Hints of wood, cider. Lots of freshly cut grass developing. Hints of caramel and flowers – some honey. It’s clean, it’s fresh, and it’s enjoyable

restaurant Palate

punchy attack, on lots of fructose, apple, pear… Alas, it’s soon to get very tannic and extremely peppery, almost burning. Let’s add a few drops of water: some caramel, cooked apple, praline develops. Vanilla fudge? Quince jelly. The finish is long but spirity and tannic (when undiluted). A good malt that’s just hasn’t got enough aromas to stand such a high ABV. 82 points . Arran 1996/2004 Single Cask (59.3%, OB, 250 bottles)
