Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

we’re much more on the fruity side here, even if it’s no fruitbomb at all. Bigger orange notes, then something leathery, tobacco, black tea, figs, orange blossom water... Loses oomph over time and gets a little drier, with the oak coming into the game (hints of oak sawdust), as well as more citrusy notes (tangerines, not lemons). Very pleasant nevertheless

restaurant Palate

very good attack (albeit a little tannic) on oranges, tangerines, macadamia nuts and strong black tea. A lot of oomph. Sure the oak has its say here, with quite some pepper, dried cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon... Also quite some ginger. A good example of a rather oaky old whisky that’s still very pleasant

timer Finish

long, a tad prickly (the tannins) but balance isn’t lost. Liqueur-filled chocolate and black tea
