Glass: Classic Malt
Colour: Rich oak, not quite amber
Nose:
Hints of orange peel, old fashioned wax furniture polish,
with time a little germolene (antiseptic sting cream) appears
then fades into a more nutty aroma. After some more minutes
there is the slightest hint of aftersun cream in the background,
but all the time those orange peel notes remain towards the
foreground.
Palate: The orange peel and nuts are immediately prominent,
but they also bring a dryness in the same way that a dry wine or
sherry will. hat old beeswax furniture polish from the nose also
appears on the palate in both flavour and slight waxiness which
then leads into the finish.
With
4 drops of water: The palate is much more intense, but so is
the dryness and waxiness.
Finish:
Long, rich and quite dry. Even longer and drier with water.
Overall Impression: A magnificent nose promises much and
many of the aromas are indeed transferred to the palate, but it
remains quite dry and never loses the impression of that wax
polish. A very good dram, but not quite making the mark of
greatness, although not far away.
