Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
probably refill, which is good. This is both more acetic and earthier, more on mud and humus, garden earth, then mushrooms and coffee dregs, Nescafé, musty old wood, old attic, roasted chestnuts, old menthol (cough) syrup, old pinewood… What it hasn't quite got is fruit. With water: rounder, mellower, with some honeycomb, sweet cider, almond cake…
restaurant Palate
indeed, it is pretty piney, resinous, with a salty side, some bitter tobacco, more acidic coffee, old woods… Not an easy old baby for sure, even if a few peppery mangos would then make a late appearance. With water: please add only a tiny drop, it's not the greatest swimmer ever, getting dry and tea-ish. Many very old whiskies suffer the same fate, having said that
timer Finish
rather long, fresh if a little piney when undiluted, forgettable when watered down
