| Tasting note: Colour: refractive, pale gold. Nose: warm, notably flowery. Heather honey, fresh oak, sap, peat, smoky fragrance. Very aromatic and appetizing. Body: remarkably smooth, firm, rounded. Palate: lightly salty. Leafy (vine leaves?), pine nuts. Lots of flavour development: nuts, honey, cinnamon, dryish ginger. Finish: spicy, very dry, okay, smoky, hot. House style: Smoky and full-flavoured. At 18 years old, [try with] dessert. (Michael Jackson, Malt Whisky Companion, 4th Edition, 1999) |
