Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

it's the 2002 with more wood interaction, so rather more vanilla, syrups, and pears instead of apples. Although I very well know that pears come from a young(ish) distillate. Also whiffs of fresh panettone, which just cannot be bad. That's right, orange blossom

restaurant Palate

bright, crisp, fresh fruity combo. A fruit salad with a little barley water, vanilla sauce, and acacia honey. No, the fact that there are millions (millions, really?) or similar casks lying over there in Scotland does not mean that it's not good!

timer Finish

medium, clean, fruity, barleyish, excellent. Nice grassy/oaky signature for more, say straightness
