Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
balanced and mellow right at first nosing, with enjoyable whiffs of wood smoke. Starts on various kinds of honey (chestnut, eucalyptus), fresh ceps, praline, with a very nice maltiness. Extremely well balanced, with hints of rubber bands (nice here), strawberry jam, gin orange... Maybe just a tad too caramelly but very pleasant
restaurant Palate
sweet, round, caramelly and fruity, with maybe a slightly weak mouth feel. Not much body in fact, the middle being a bit thin but the rest is pretty enjoyable. Quite some orange marmalade, bergamot, candied quince Gets quite toffeeish
timer Finish
Not too long and lacking body again. Too bad. The general profile is very nice and so is the nose but the palate lacks oomph, which makes the whole a little 'unsatisfying'. Probably a very good single malt for friends who aren't used to full-bodied whiskies. 78 points . Glenrothes 1985/2005 (43%, OB)
