Serge Valentin (89)

A reasonably scarce old official Glen Ord bottled for the export market around the mid-1980s at the curious strength of 43.5%. Other bottlings under this livery at lower ABVs have been generally pretty good in my experience. Colour: gold. Nose: lovely! Honeys, waxes, pollens, some rather punchy cereal notes, buttered toast and things like clay, chalk and other pleasing mineral qualities. Pretty typical old school Glen Ord in other words, a style that nods rather clearly towards some of the later and excellent official bottlings from the Special Releases (the 28 and 30yo bottlings in particular). Mouth: clean, waxy and showing some rather fleshy and pulpy exotic fruit notes. Oily rags, tool boxes, hessian cloth, dried herbs, mango – all manner of older style flavours and fuller, more ‘old highland’ style characteristics. Finish: good length, on camphor, waxes, metal polish, hessian, lemon peel and olive oil. Comments: I love these old Ord bottlings, they’re kind of like the diet version of old Clynelish. All those old school flavours in abundance but with a lower fat content. Anyway, this is great!
