Tasting notes

Taster Jim Murray

Nose: A perfectly-shaped layer of honey. A hint of lavender and peppermint add to the complexity.
Palate: Fat and explosive on the palate, the spiced oiliness is infused with acacia honey richness which gives way to biscuity maltiness.
Finish: Dries fast as the oak takes hold, though a sweetness lingers.
Comment: Past its best with one or two off-key notes, but otherwise still holds out well.

7.8

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Fresh, \"green\". Pronounced garden mint?
Palate: Herbal. Spicy. Lightly syrupy.
Finish: Sawn wood. Dry. Drying.
Comment: Still a hint of the typical creaminess. Although its flavours are on the light side, Edradour is quite rich in body. It stands up well to age, but this is not the best '76 I have tasted.
