Tasting note

Nose

48 years in a barrel and still so full of life. This is liquid enjoyment, the aroma alone deserves to set aside at least five minutes for this. Overripe apples, hint of ginger, so terribly mild and sultry, classic Speyside with enough character to make the seasoned whisky lover smile. A party in the glass.

Taste

Sweet tea here and again those ripe apples. Do we taste a hint of smoke? Yes indeed, we feel that some peat was used in drying the malt after all. In any case, it adds another layer to the huge list of words mentioned while tasting this topper. Oily mouthfeel with a sultry sweetness of grains. A very full aroma and a favourite of many. Only 43%, but completely balanced, so perfect choice.

Finish

We mentioned it on the aroma, this is a party in a glass and that party lasts a long time on the palate too. Gets a little drier with a hint of liquorice and waxiness.
