TASTING NOTES
COLOUR
Bright gold.
NOSE
Rich, heady. At first nosing, lovely hints of straw, green almonds, and candied lemons accompany honeyed (acacia) and fruity (pear, apple, pineapple) aromas. As a highlight, green barley, chlorophyll, and green licorice refresh the atmosphere. Over time, a superb note of vetiver hovers above the aromatic palette.
PALATE
Lively, sharp. Oscillating between freshly cut grass and almond milk, the palate follows the path set by the initial nose. In the mid-palate, aromatic herbs (sage, verbena, chamomile) inevitably intensify the vegetal character of the flavor profile. In the back of the palate, arugula leaves with a touch of balsamic vinegar take over the entire palate.
FINISH
Long, balanced. Equally verdant, the beginning of the finish also brings juicy pears and freshly squeezed lemons to the forefront. However, dill and a beautiful malted bitterness quickly reconnect with the preferred vegetal terroir of this beautiful Glenlossie. In retro-olfaction, green licorice, incense, and juniper berries form a lively trio of flavors. The empty glass has a minty, heady (orris concrete), and medicinal (balm) aroma.
