Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this could have been very different from the old Samaroli but it isn’t. It’s probably a little less complex but we do get the same huge notes of coffee, smoke, coal and dried herbs. On the other hand, this is not meaty at all. Huge notes of roasted grains as well. Roasted chestnuts. Keeps evolving, getting closer to stout and malt extract but always with a huge smokiness
restaurant Palate
less ‘pleasantly sharp and dry’ now, and maybe a tad too ‘kirschy’ (raw fruit distillate). Oh well, let’s see what gives with water: right, it’s a excellent whisky but its much less ‘different’ that on the nose, contrarily to what happened with the 1966. White fruits, heather honey, a little mint and hints of pear spirit
timer Finish
long, getting a tad more resinous and smoky now
