Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the cask was more active this time, which is what the colour suggested anyway. Probably first fill bourbon. Starts on some kind of waxed vanilla, hints of patchouli, earth and roots, then more coastal notes like in the Treasure. Maybe a little aniseed as well. With water: becomes wilder. Dried seaweed, farmyard, bonfire smoke, vanilla cake (granted, vanilla cake isn’t very wild)
restaurant Palate
superb! Very rich, almost thick, extremely citrusy, very nervous, waxy of course, peppery… It’s a big fat baby but it hasn’t lost any of its inherent elegance (what?), quite the contrary. I must say it does taste more ‘1982-1983’ than ‘1997’, as a dedicated Clynelish exegete would say. Toasted bread. With water: perfect. I love these gingery touches (almost curry-like) from the wood that add some extra-dimension
timer Finish
long, rich, citrusy, perfect
