Tasting Notes

Colour

deeper gold

air Nose

good fun, this is the same make, just filled into oak that’s been slightly more active. Which would translate into a little more vanilla and butterscotch, but in moderation. Perhaps more herbs as well, even hay… But is this just as perfect? Yes it is. With water: bread, which was all we were asking for. As we sometimes say, pear eau-de-vie should taste like pear, raspberry like raspberry, and whisky like bread (that was the heavily expurgated version)

restaurant Palate

sweet Vishnu! This will mature well in a good cellar and become one of the best whiskies ever, around 2040. Twenty + twenty, a sure bet (twenty in wood, twenty in glass)

timer Finish

oh wow, it disappeared from my tasting glass quicker than Harry Houdini, what happened?
