Serge Valentin (88)

Courtesy Andrew Brown, Bunnahabhain’s excellently friendly and courteous Distillery Manager.

Colour: deep gold.

Nose: fruitier and sweeter than the Centenary, with more cherries, then quite some tobacco, walnuts, marmalade… Less smoky for sure, and certainly woodier.

Mouth: again, it’s rather sweeter, with oranges, wood spices, and no smoke that I can get.

Finish: rather long, more extractive, with an oak that feels a bit, strong black tea and such…

Comments: no peat, more oak, and proof that not all 1963s were peaty. A great dram nonetheless, just a wee bit oaky for my taste.
