Words of Whisky (91)

More lively and vibrant than you'd expect, but also with the elegance you hope to find after four decades of maturation.
Nose
Dark, brooding and intense. Notes of strong coffee, fresh ginger, black pepper and cigar tobacco, but then an abundance of (dried) red fruit. Raisins and dates, but also orange peel, poached pears and ripe banana. Finally a whiff of cocoa powder and meringues.
Taste
Uhm, yes please. It’s incredibly alive and vibrant at such an advanced age, just like last year’s release. And the mouthfeel is creamy. There’s a touch of smoke, some leather, a fair amount of oak spices and espresso too. Then some cherries, dark chocolate truffles and a whisper of copper.
Finish
Lingering chocolate and some herbal touches. Also some charcoal. Very long.
