Serge Valentin (93)

The big vintages at Benriach were 1968 and 1976. 1971? I think this is terra incognita to me… Colour: gold. Nose: all right, it seams that this is a marginally shier version of a 1976. Passion fruits, check. Mangos, check. Tangerines, check. Spearmint, check. Grapefruits, check. Guavas, check. Mead, check. Enough said. Mouth: wham! Explosively fruity, with the same fruits as in the nose plus a little vanilla fudge and milk chocolate. Not whisky, a full-bodied sin. Finish: long, citrusy, with some fresh spices coming through. Green cardamom. A little green oak in the aftertaste. Comments: much too drinkable. Only the minimally oaky aftertaste will prevent me from going over a score of… wait…
