Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
light but fresh, rather clean, maybe a bit cardboardy at first sniffs but the rather subtle peatiness and the notes of chamomile tea, verbena, white peaches and watermelons do the trick here. Also quite milky and marginally mashy. Whiffs of black pepper. Not out of this world but pleasant
restaurant Palate
sure it’s not really powerful at 40% but it doesn’t lack oomph and body. Slightly resinous but very smoky, candied (crystallised oranges), getting then rather peppery and ‘nutmeggy’, picking up steam with time. Smoked tea, hints of gooseberries and whitecurrants... And more and more pepper. With such a ‘thickness’, we can imagine how big a whisky this one could have been, had it been bottled at 46%+
timer Finish
pretty long, all on ‘smoked and peppered dried oranges’ orr something like that. Very good ‘semi-official’ bottling by G&M. 85 points . Ardmore 1990/2007 LMDW-1 (59.1%, La Maison du Whisky, cask #30103)
