Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold-amber
air Nose
very similar to the old 8yo despite the extra-12 years in wood. Maybe even drier. Takes off very slowly, with a gentle honeyness and hints of pollen and dandelions. Smoked tea, herbal teas (chamomile), roasted nuts, hints of orange zests and fresh butter. Rather subtle, certainly not big. Actually, this one is curiously ‘silent’, even after a good fifteen minutes. Restricted indeed ;-)
restaurant Palate
again, this is no big whisky, but it’s a bit more talkative than on the nose. Malt, ‘dark’ honeys, cappuccino, burned bread... Grows bigger at the middle, more candied and caramelised. Milk chocolate, nougat... Quite some tannins in the background, that make it a bit drying
timer Finish
rather short, malty and tea-ish
