Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
more sherry influence, as the colour suggested. Walnut wine, mild cigars, marmalade, gingerbread, raisins, caraway, and touches of aniseed or fennel. Some salted butter fudge as well. Very nice combo so far…
restaurant Palate
really really to my liking, orange-driven at first, then getting spicier, and never, ever heavy, fattish, or cloying. Ginger (is that the spiced rum) and more marmalade, with a soft curry-y side. The strength is perfect, 46% is really an ideal strength in many cases
timer Finish
quite long, drier as often, going more toards bitter chocolate, while the curry’s still there. A good friend just sent me some chilli chocolate from New Zealand, which I found excellent. We’re more or less in the same category here (but this Glenrothes is a little easier, Paul ;-))
