This one with a beautiful label by Hans Dillesse. Colour: deep gold. Nose: freshly varnished old furniture, dusty old curtains, the feeling of poking about your grandparent’s house as a kid. I also get some lovely notes of yellow fruits, runny honey, toasted hazelnuts, melon, flambeed banana and custard made with sweet marsala. In time you also start to get pure pina colada. Mouth: sweet and full of fruit cordials and syrups. A lovely ‘textural’ sweetness along with some slightly grassy olive oil, hardwood resins and a little camphor. Finish: medium and with notes of orange oil, brown bread, sugar syrups and lemon cough drops. Comments: quite simply, some very good old grain whisky. I really feel that they need a lot of time to become something more natural and elegant, just as has happened here.
