Tasting notes by Serge Valentin: 88/100 points (www.WhiskyFun.com)
Colour: straw.
Nose: it’s more or less the same whisky as the G&M, except that everything is rather louder. More sweet mustard, wax, tiny metallic notes, cider apples, wet papers and ink (right, newspaper – will there ever be iPad aromas?), paraffin, grass, lime… Unsexy but very attractive!
Mouth: ah yes! Again, it’s not unlike the G&M but with more oomph and just a little more sweetness that makes it a tad more drinkable. Other than that, it’s all on herbs, lemon zests, Jägermeister, green tea, pepper and many other spices. Gets just a little drying towards the end but that’s fine.
Finish: long, peppery, grassy, mustardy, minty and very dry.
Comments: a true testimony to the older days of distilling. Sob…
