This is the famous 'Cognac bottle', dating back from the times when Cognac was leading the market, and both Balvenie and Aberlour did launch such Cognac look-alikes. Today, several Cognac bottlers are 'faking' whisky bottles. The times, they are changing...
Colour:. Pale gold
Nose: Quite smoky with some burnt cake, breadcrumb, caramel… Some nice flowery notes (heather) and quite a lot of honeyed notes. Gets a little grassy after a moment, while some nice hints of fresh fruits (apple, gooseberry, peach) appear. Nicely balanced and most enjoyable.
Mouth: Very nice attack on honey and fruit jam (apricot, quince). Herbal tea, Christmas cake… Some liquorice too. It’s got quite some oomph and I like the notes of dried herbs from Provence (thyme, rosemary).
The finish is medium long but nicely honeyed and spicy. A very good oldie!
