Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
smooth, extremely fresh and clean, very fruity and flowery. Lots of ripe mirabelles, quince, apricot, oranges mixed with nectar, light honey, flowers from the fields, maybe lilac… Very nice, even if not too aromatic in fact. Quite some sweet white wine (like a Vouvray), with also hints of beeswax and herbal teas. Harmless and maybe a little feminine (sorry, girls), but it’s much more than just a curiosity. Wait a minute, it gets more complex after quite some breathing, with the grain and some pastry coming through, roasted nuts, praline… I like it
restaurant Palate
oh, that’s very different now. The attack is on fruit eaux de vie, grappa, grain indeed, calvados, with maybe a little lack of body, even if it’s very far from being ‘thin’. Lots of herbal teas, wax, hints of tar and rubber, caramelized apples. Much grainier on the palate than on the nose. Something slightly rummy… The finish is a little thin but long, if you see what I mean, mostly on candy sugar. Very interesting, in any case. 85 points . Ben Nevis 35 yo 1967/2003 (52.5%, OB for Alambic Classique, cask #2218, 165 bottles)
