Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
completely different from both the 1962 and 1966 and from ‘regular’ uberfruity old Longmorns. Starts on quite some vanilla and varnish, as if it was a teenage bourbon cask and develops on a rather superb combination of almonds (and marzipan), putty, walnuts and apple peelings. Then a lot of mint (really a lot) and notes of linseed oil and just a little bacon. With water: more of everything, with added notes of oranges and ‘good’ ginger tonic. Wonderful. A lot of menthol
restaurant Palate
very thick, very powerful, all on oranges, lemons, coconut, vanilla and grated ginger and pepper. How punchy! With water: that brought out more bitterness from the wood plus more ham but it’s all more than fine. Soft tannins, pepper, ginger
timer Finish
very long, maybe a tad dry now but all these spices are of the highest grade
