Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
oh, this is interesting, we have whiffs of seaweed butter (from Bordier’s – please see picture), smoked tea and mint at first nosing, with also faint whiffs of eucalyptus and hints of camphor. It gets then more classically grassy and vanilled, delicately honeyed… The balance is perfect and the oak rather discreet for now. Let’s check the palate…
restaurant Palate
of course it’s not powerful and yes there is quite some oak now but it’s still very pleasant, nicely bitter, a little vegetal, with the spices from the wood taking control after a moment (pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, maybe hints of mustard). Not an athlete anymore but it’s perfectly drinkable and especially the finish is interesting, with quite some salt that must come from the wood. Lacks maybe a little more fruits and honey. 87 points . Glenrothes 38 yo 1969/2007 (41.5%, Duncan Taylor, cask #383)
