Serge Valentin (85)

Colour: pale gold. Nose: this is a
wilder but also more brutal version
of Glen Ord. More spirity, herbal,
grassy at first nosing, much less
rounded and sexy than the rather recent
official 30yo. Whiffs of mint…
This one desperately needs water I
think., let’s see… yes,
it worked this time. Not that it got
completely transformed but we do have
more roundness, a little liquorice,
nice tannins, smoked tea, cake but
also hints of ‘farminess’
(wet hay and all that jazz)…
Mouth (neat): closer to the Cadenhead
now but more complex. We do have lots
of caramel and vanilla as well as
crystallised fruits but also something
herbal and waxy. An extra-dismension
but the whole is very strong. Water
please… It got really rounder
and sweeter this time, with more chocolate
and apricot jam, honey… Finish:
coherent, cereally and caramelly,
with a little chamomile tea and gingerbread.
Very good but if there’s one
worth your savings, it’s the
30 yo OB I think.
