Hierbij mijn proefnotities:
Color
deep copper
Appearance
high viscosity
Nose
Quite intense, yet smooth. There is a clear dominance of the fruit: in the beginning it smells like pear, but it develops quickly to banana and papaya. Furthermore, there is some waxy malt, a bit dusty like an old library, and a little sawdust. Perfumed herbs (eucalyptus and fresh coriander) complete the nose.
Taste
The attack is reletively sweet and soft, but thin, with again a dominance of the fruit. On the mid-palate, spices kick in (pepper, ginger) and also the herbs become louder and the taste gets turns a bit bitter.
Finish
The bitterness of the mid-palate is continued in the finish. There is a tie between the fruitiness (banana candy) and the spicy and herbal elements.
Comments
We have a "sniffer" again: apart from the wonderful nose, I'm not really impressed. Given the prices nowadays, I would not recommend this one unless you are a Glen Grant collector.
