Tasting Notes

Colour

dark straw

air Nose

a grassier, waxier, more mineral Glenrothes, as if it was made north of Inverness. It’s got the same slightly exuberant fruity notes (pineapples, pears) but it’s also got more grass and more firmness. Funny notes of IPA too, perhaps is that hops? Or a wee yeastiness? With water: gets a little shy. Not that it doesn’t swim, but it gets less emphatic than the 1996. A little butter cream

restaurant Palate

this time it’s a full-fruity one, starting citrusy and even citric, so much more on sweet grapefruits (the pink ones) than on pineapples, and going on with cranberries and greengages. And gooseberries. With water: not many changes. Perhaps more apples?

timer Finish

medium, fruity, slightly grassy, with some barley sugar
