Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

oh yes, I remember... It sees that these new ones have less sherry but the big porridge, metal (silverware), oranges zests and plain malt are all back, not to mention this wee soapiness that's so unusual. I wouldn't say it's a clear marker but this happens quite often. It's not an unpleasant soapiness at all. More globally, it's a very malty nose. More sweet ale and coffee after ten minutes

restaurant Palate

more of this feeling of ale and coffee, then orange drops and juice, something like Cointreau in coffee, sweet malt, then some kind of spicy cake. Cloves. It's big whisky, not as whacky as I had thought, but not middle-of-the-road at all. Quite singular

timer Finish

good length, with more oranges, sweets, sweet ale
