700 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Fine, subtle. Deliciously vanilla and fruity (pineapple, mirabelle plum), the first nose is also honey (acacia, lime), malty and vinous (white port, muscat). When aired, absolutely delicious aromas of apple pie, queen claude and candied ginger rub shoulders with numerous heady flowers (iris, tuberose, lily, dahlia). Then, one can not more “Speyside”, the aromatic palette is covered by a multitude of grains of malted barley.
Palate: Rich, powerful. Beautifully liquorice and oily (rapeseed, sunflower), the attack on the palate also reveals citrus fruits (orange, clementine), exotic fruits (passion, mango) and spearmint. On the mid-palate, various spices (cloves, cumin, coriander, dill) bring a lot of vitality to the taste palette. Gradually, exquisite flavors of chamomile, clover and fresh walnuts cover the taste buds. Very creamy, the finish is vanilla, saffron and spicy (black pepper, cinnamon).
Overall: Long, fluffy. Very powdery (rice cake), the start of the finish evokes a very large sake. Beautifully herbaceous (boxwood, holly, juniper), it becomes more and more greedy over time (calisson d'Aix, prune flan). Tertiary, the retro-olfaction is animated by notes of iced chestnut, chestnut, pine resin and verbena. Extremely concentrated, the empty glass is slightly camphorated, herbaceous (alfalfa, coriander), lemony and above all malty (barley porridge, porridge).”
