[47.9%・28 Years Old・Distilled in 1988・Bottled in 2016・Joint Bottling of Jens Drewitz, Max Righi (Whisky Antique) and Diego Sandrin (Lion’s Whisky)・Single Cask Release of 267 Bottles]
Nose:
Warm salted caramel poured on creamy vanilla ice cream. Pears, stone fruits, rice paper and toasted nuts. Incense wood in blended with shades of dried flowers in the background.
Palate & Finish:
Succulent front palate of tropical mangos, lemons and oranges with a quirky dose of bubble gum flavouring. Quite a creamy undertone splashed with spices.
The bright citrus oil gradually fades away as the tropical notes get restrained by the oak dryness.
Thoughts:
A classy Mannochmore that just needs that little something to make it truly special.
