Serge Valentin (85)

Colour: light gold. Nose: modern, sweet, fruity and very bonbony. Banana cream, lemon drops, coriander, prickly pears, chenin blanc and a pack of Haribo's best. A family pack. With water: as usual, a little brioche, bread, dough, grist and vanilla. Very nice but just between us, the original distillate is not extremely important under these conditions. Mouth (neat): indeed, good, in the JS style, with some butterscotch, custard and cappuccino at first, then biscuits, cola water and pancake sauce. Pecan pie with some marmalade. With water: more jam, gingerbread, oak spices, a little white chocolate, raisins, pumpernickel… Finish: long and a little brighter. Rhubarb tarte with meringue and custard. Comments: very modern, very good indeed, but this won't help us find the markers of Glendullan.

Upon the first sip, a true flavor sensation unfolds. The sherry influence is evident, with notes of juicy raisins, candied orange, and dark chocolate. These sweet and fruity flavors are beautifully balanced by hints of toasted nuts, spicy oak, and a touch of malt.
