Professionele reviews

Serge Valentin (86)

old Invergordons! Colour: gold.

Nose: coffee, chocolate, praline, fresh croissants, pancakes, lapel syrup… Shall we call this one ‘very breakfasty’? With water: same, caramel cream, cappuccino, a wee touch of Virginia tobacco…

Mouth (neat): a little rough, perhaps, and really very bourbony. Cakes and toasts. With water: a little oak coming out, pencil shavings, roasted nuts…

Finish: medium, on Starbuck’s hazelnut-flavoured coffee. Bwaah…

Comments: all these grains, however good they are, are a little thin, some kind of genetic flaw. No exception here, but once again, it’s a very good one, although the sherried old Invergordons are usually superior in my book.
