Tasting Notes
Colour
very pale gold
air Nose
what's amazing is that you can really spot the share DNA between this and the 1972, which is to say: honeybomb! It's really a stunning combination of flower honeys with sea salt, pure honeycomb, beeswax, linseed oils, hessian and camphor. Rather like the pure refill 1972s but with added subtle peat influence, that manifests more as herbs, roots and medicines, and a bigger and more vivid waxiness

We needn't have worried too much. It's a beautiful arrival full of herbal liqueurs, many more medicinal and herbal qualities, the honey character is there, but it feels older, saltier, drier, more like some very well aged mead. Then there's also this beautiful coconut note, which feels reminiscent of some older G&M malts from the late 1930s, so potentially coming from old American oak ex-sherry casks? Continues with many dried fruits, pressed flowers, mineral oils, bouillon, dried tarragon and suet. Still heavily on waxes and camphor in the background. Amazing complexity while also possessing an incredible elegance and almost fragility, but without actually being fragile, if you see what I mean
timer Finish
long, perfectly drying, lightly salty, full of herbal medicinal notes, furniture polish and mineral oils again
