Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
starts rather boldly for a 43% malt but also quite spirity. Very grainy, with notes of cut green apples and pears, hints of orange juice but not much else. Or maybe whiffs of wet stones and violets (old style cologne). Gets a little papery – also whiffs of church incense. Not too interesting but rather enjoyable, in fact
restaurant Palate
very, very sweet… Orange liqueur? Banana liqueur? We have also hints of fresh ginger, all sorts of fresh fruits (strawberries, pears, grapes)… It’s almost like an eau-de-vie soaked fruit salad, topped with caramel and a little vanilla crème. Enjoyable – one to offer your neophyte friends? The finish rather long, at that, very fruity and nicely balanced… The palate was much nicer than the nose! It’s not that often that you come across such a fruity malt. 83 points . Mortlach 1994/2004 (46%, Eilan Gillan, American oak, France)
