Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
we’re close, oh so close to the SSMC here! We’re maybe a little easier on the leathery notes and maybe a tad louder on fresh fruits (oranges again) but that’s pretty all. Same whiffs of struck matches and same punchiness. With water: exactly the same development as with the SSMC. Maybe a little subtler, with some aniseed and mint on top of the meaty and farmy notes. I like it
restaurant Palate
powerful but a little lighter than the SSMC as far as mouth feels are concerned, although the spiciness is big again. Quite some caraway, cloves, nutmeg. Creamy mouth feel, with some sultanas, fig liqueur, spicy herbs liqueur (I sometimes quote Dantziger Goldwasser), Cointreau as well, bitter oranges… Yes, it’s bitter oranges galore! With water: bang! Amazingly rich and fruity, concentrated, powerful and explosive. More a liqueur than malt whisky indeed
timer Finish
as long as a John Bonham drum solo – and as powerful
