Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
it’s the menthol that comes out first, sign of age, followed by many stewed fruits and a wide range of resinous/sappy tones including beeswax and propolis. Then it’s fruitcake galore and yet again, a feeling of old Demerara rum (like Port Mourant). And then, more and more smoke, which come unexpected. Old coal stove, lovage... Complex and beautiful
restaurant Palate
as often with these old malts, the first sips won’t tell you whether it’ll be over-oaked or not. Seems to hesitate quite a bit, before starting to unfold in a beautiful manner, forgetting the oak and becoming wonderfully ‘beehivy’ and ‘tertiarily fruity’ (that’s more than enough, S.!) Many jams and honeys, chutneys, orange and caramel sauce…
timer Finish
medium long, with more and more ‘sweetish oak’. It’s not dry oak, it’s a kind of, like I said, sweet oak. Or rather a blend of herbal teas with a little honey? Liquorice rolls in the aftertaste, and big time. An earthiness as well, and cinnamon
