Tasting Notes:
“This fiery youngster spent two-thirds of its life in the tropics. Colour: gold. Nose: very clean, the column still clearly in charge, with oranges, orgeat syrup and molasses honey. With water: orange liqueur, amaretti, maple syrup. It’s soft on the nose. Mouth (neat): very classic, again lots of orgeat, quite obvious, then triple sec and a tray of assorted cakes and biscuits. Including shortbread, would you believe. With water: light earthiness and sweet spices. Faint salty and tarry touches. Finish: medium length, now a little more herbal. Notes of lovage in the aftertaste. Comments: less personality than the Bally, but more balance overall. Very good, of course.”|
