Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
less fruits than in the 1970 but much more vanilla, caramel, café latte and a little coconut. In other words, lactone galore! Also notes of strawberry jam, blackberry jelly, a faint rootiness (probably from the oak) and unexpected hints of fresh pineapple that are usually more to be found in younger whiskies. Anyway, very nice nose once again, globally a tad more discreet than the 1970’s
restaurant Palate
this time we’re closer to the 1970 but with more resinous notes, some liquorice, roasted honey-coated nuts, fir honey, bananas flambéed and quite some anisette (aniseed liqueur such as Marie Brizard, or even plain pastis). Very funny!
timer Finish
rather long, with even more pastis. That’s it, a combination of oak, honey, liquorice and aniseed
