Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
even more unusual than the Laudale, starting curiously vegetal and dry, a little tarry and quite toffee-ish. A lot of strong black tea (unsweetened), cinnamon, dry raisins, roasted chestnuts and espresso coffee. With water: it’s the oak that plays louder now, with some tannins, grass and bitter chocolate. It was working better when undiluted in my opinion
restaurant Palate
thick, raisiny and as resinous as some much older whiskies. Concentrated, more and more on cough syrup, treacle toffee, strong mint flavoured tea (Marrakesh in winter, yeah, yeah) and angelica. If you like heavy, rich and concentrated whiskies, this is for you. With water: water works much better than on the nose, even it gets a tad more drying. Millionaire’s shortbread, nutmeg, cinnamon, cocoa powder and white pepper
timer Finish
long, drier, oakier but all that is under control
