Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
holy featherless crow! Starts magnificently on pecan nuts, wax polish and sandalwood, all that being rather delicate and certainly not powerful, but it does talk a lot. There’s something of the old pre-war Macallans by the same bottlers, especially the huge complexity and elegance. At random, we have also a little motor oil, camphor, new leather, fig liqueur, walnuts, honeydew, old books, tarte tatin, overripe apples… Sadly, it does lose steam after a few minutes, fading away like a precious old wine (or some very old rum)
restaurant Palate
indeed it’s no big whisky and maybe it’s a tad drying now, but it’s also relatively fresher, with touches of apples, plums and pears before it becomes a little more cardboardy and tea-ish. Walnuts again, Seville oranges, then more and more cinnamon from the oak
timer Finish
short and dry, with only touches of white pepper and oranges in the aftertaste
