Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
much more cask influence than in the Kilkerran, obviously, but I do not detect any offbeat or cloying notes in this baby, even if the notes of orange zest and liqueur are big. Orangeade as well. A rather unusual whisky actually, getting kind of oriental, with whiffs of incense and sandalwood, cedar wood (brand new humidor), leather… And even more oranges plus notes of metal after a while (old aluminium pan). Kind of the opposite of the Kilkerran in style despite the common orangey notes
restaurant Palate
goody-good, much more to my liking than the first 8yo. More polished, more classical, smoother but certainly not numb, with excellent spices on top of quite a lot of marmalade and ginger tonic. Speculoos. Gets then more peppery and gingery, with also the same kind of ‘pleasant soapiness’ that I found in the Kilkerran. Yup I’ll really have to find another word for that!
timer Finish
long, very orangey and gingery. Zests
