Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

this IS extravagantly fruity. An orchard in late summer… Ripe plums, apricots, a lot of honey, a little banana (flambéed)… Oh well, this is classic… And perfect. What's more, the oak is discreet… Development: complex, on old woods, spices, balms… Baklavas, orange blossom… Also a little humus, as almost always in these old whiskies when the oak's been civilised

restaurant Palate

one of these 'liqueur-malts', with an oakiness that's not absent (tea tannins) but that's all under control. Overripe apples, cinnamon, stewed rhubarb (with a lot of sugar), pink grapefruits, pomegranates… All very good, all eminently drinkable!

timer Finish

medium long, with more honey again. Absolutely not drying. Cooked apples and rhubarb in the aftertaste
