Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
oh this is different, much rounder than the 12, and rather more on tinned peaches, pear cake, dried papayas, ginger cookies, some kind of not-too-sweet honey, perhaps even a drop of mead… It partly reminds me of those wonderful older Glenallachies that some indies were having around eight years ago (Whisky Agency and compadres). Great touches of walnut-like sherry too, Ovaltine…
restaurant Palate
I’m afraid it’s a little more difficult, grassy, bitter, slightly sour, gingery, leafy… Some oak spices, sucking tobacco leaves… Well, once thing they couldn’t add to the label is the killing word ‘smooth’
timer Finish
long, but rather very bitter. Bitter oranges, old walnuts, grape pips, new oak. Curious about the layer of ‘wood treatment’ they’ve added to these batches, which should have been rounder and fresher, according to the lovely nose
