Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s a very sulphury spirit, very unusual. It’s not sulphur from the cask, it’s from the spirit. That gives it a medicinal side, whiffs of bandages, rubber bands, new car, tyres, chalk… It’s also pretty butyric. As I said, unusual… With water: it became very gamey. Cured ham, struck matches… Mouth (neat – with fear): it is powerful but quite curiously, it’s kind of sippable, you just have to be careful. The sulphur is back, together with bags of bitter oranges, tangerines and then a lot of cardamom and even green curry. Touches of Tabasco as well, aspirin tablets… Becomes more tart after that, with some lemon squash and drops. Did I write that this is unusual whisky? With water: resembles the 1994 now. The combination of Benrinnes’ character with first fill sherry (this must have been first fill as well) makes sparks fly
timer Finish
long, more mineral. Some kind of cocktail involving triple-sec and various spices. Bitter almonds in the aftertaste
