Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
a profile that only very old single malts at good bottling strength seem able to deliver. A single, cohesive and utterly poetic mix of medicines, herbs, liqueurs, rooty peat aromas and a pristine, faintly salty old sherry full of rancio, walnuts and herbal teas. Poetic is the word, and utterly exquisite!
restaurant Palate
amazing freshness and staying power! Stunning saltiness, like the most gorgeous, leathery and rancio-laden VORS oloroso. And within that there's further notes of leathers, tobaccos and medicinal roots - the full 'Gentleman's library' factor! So many tiny, stunning wee flavours emerging. The best salty Dutch liquorice, ancient yellow Chartreuse, verbena, wormwood, umami broths and my beloved Maggi! I could demolish a Nebuchadnezzar of this before the year is out!
timer Finish
stunningly long, resinous, salty and even starting to show some surprisingly exotic dried fruity qualities. More of these ancient medicinal roots, herbs and stunning old style peat flavours
