Tasting Notes
The nose is a cornucopia of fruitiness, featuring apples, apricots, and gooseberries. This bouquet is layered with a mineral quality, the sweetness of honey, a whisper of smoke, and a delightful old bottle fragrance (OBF) reminiscent of times gone by. The aroma of ice cream adds a surprising twist, invoking memories of leisurely summer days. On the palate, the Crabbie 08-year-old JCrC maintains its fruity prominence, with gooseberries, apricots, and red grapes leading the charge. The fruitiness is complemented by the confectionery sweetness of icing sugar—a characteristic trait of old blends—alongside a hint of smoke and the luxurious texture of cream. The finish is delightfully sweet, echoing the earlier tutti-frutti and ice cream notes, creating a rich and very sweet experience. It has a good length, allowing the flavors to linger and leaving a lasting impression that is both nostalgic and indulgent.
