Tasting Notes
Tasting notes by Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Spiced brioche, brown sugar and rich lardy cake. Cinnamon buns and iced Danish pastries with a cherry on the top. Fruit jelly notes develop – lemon, lime and pineapple – with a background of old, wax-polished oak tables. Meatier notes slowly emerge, balanced by sugar flowers, candied lemon and sweet whipped cream.
Palate
Creamily textured, with lightly spiced egg-custard tarts leading into old Chartreuse, spiced sponge cake and butter cream – the herbal notes float around on top, while underneath sit piles of cakes and oaty biscuits. In between are fruity boiled sweets, barley sugar and herbal throat sweets. Tarte tatin notes develop, softly spiced and drenched with butter.
Finish
Apple sauce and buttered toast. Toasted, spiced, fruit loaf develops. Apple sweets and cream remain.
Comment
Old and dignified. Floral and fruity notes dance around on top, with weightier notes of spice and cake supporting from below. Complex and elegant, rewarding long exploration.
Customer Reviews
(7 Reviews)
Lucky enough to have tried this exceptional whisky recently, and must say for it to be blended, it is far superior to most 40+year single malts I have tried over the years. A full 10/10 to whomever is responsible for this blend. Superb.
Amazing dram. Complexity, waxiness, citrus fruits, tropical fruits, polish and an amazing, long finish
Fantastic dram, elegant and complex – a real stunner.
Stunning – another Speyside that hits every mark.
Really great stuff, as good or better than most of the other 73s I have tasted and this one is actually more reasonably priced than most. Get it while you can.
