GLENLOSSIE 11 ans 2012 Plume 1st fill Sherry Oloroso New Vibrations Signatory Vintage

Nose : Refined, smooth. Beautiful notes of apricot, nutmeg and mango form a voluptuous first nose. Allowed to breathe, aromas of ripe fruits (Mirabelle plum, greengage plum) and dried flowers elegantly enshroud the aroma palette. Rancio and roasted (mocha coffee) notes appear next.

Appearance : Cuivre à reflets verdâtres.

Palate : Firm, lively. The attack adds citrus fruit (orange, mandarin), salted butter caramel and milk chocolate. The mid-palate develops more luscious (lucerne), malty (barley grain) and heavily spiced (clove, curry, cinnamon) registers.

Overall : Long, full of energy. The heady start of the finish (lily, iris) recreates the character of a still hot-headed and remarkably clear spirit. The aftertaste ends in flavours of cocoa powder, wood and infused plants (thyme, oregano).
