Avis professionnels

Serge Valentin (75)

Colour: light gold.

Nose: seemingly rooouuunded, smooooth, with some vaniiiilla (that’ll do, S.), brioche, toasted oak, white chocolate, café latte and only then, a little varnish and bubblegum. A little sawdust too, but since you’re wondering, no or little pencil shavings. Typical nice grain, but not sure ‘nice’ is such good a word here.

Mouth: it’s not quite vodka-caramel, and indeed you could think of some slightly stuffy cheesecake. It’s just that it’s also pretty sugary, with a feeling of cane syrup I’m not too fond of. It’s me, it’s not the whisky.

Finish: good length, sweet, caramely, chocolaty. ‘Cheesecaky’ indeed but that would not be the much lighter Mitteleuropa cheesecake.

Comments: it’s great whisky, but I don’t like it too much. As I said, it’s not the whisky, it’s me. Too sweet for me, but then again, I’m sure it’s great.

Gal Granov (85)

Gal Granov:

Nose: Lemon sherbet on top of sweet vanilla cheesecake. Lemon rind. Cereals. Pine needles. Wood varnish and a hint of balsamic.

Palate: Sweet cereals with a sharp peppery note. Golden syrup. Lots of sugar and sweet juices. Lemon rind and quite a few pencil boxes (wood). Drying with a cinnamon note.

Finish: Dry. Wood. Crushed coffee beans.

This is a lovely example of a lovely, well aged grain from Invergordon. Quite lemony and also woody, and refreshing. A nice summer sipping whisky. Can’t say this blew my mind, but I liked it quite a bit. A good example of good grain whiskies.
