Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

an unexpectedly smoky start, very malty, with rather heavy notes of burnt cake. Quite honeyed as well, with notes of dried fruits (figs), vanilla and quite some caramel. Goes on with something distantly farmy, peaty, and notes of regular ‘black’ tea. Not overly complex but rather enjoyable, I must say

restaurant Palate

a sweet, malty and caramelly attack, with a smoky structure and lots of cake and toasted bread. Very, very classical, getting rather spicy (a little ginger, quite some nutmeg and a pinch of clove). Keeps going with notes of fruit liqueurs, bananas flambéed and praline, and a finish that’s long and rather powerful, smoky, malty and caramelly. A good middle of the road malt. 80 points . Tomatin 1965 (50.7%, JWWW The Cross Hill, sherry cask, 82 bottles, 2006)
