Redbreast 15 Year Old

This is my review of the 2009/2010 version.

Nose: starts in a flatter way, the fresh grapefruit and tropical fruitiness of the 2005 edition is almost gone. More cereals, more dust, more toffee. Camomile? Quite rubbery as well. Hints of nougat. After a while, fruit confit comes through, but very restrained.

Mouth: basically the same differences: more spices (gingerbread, cardamom), less fruit (some bramble maybe). The stunning clarity of the 2005 release doesn’t repeat itself in this 2009 version. More green, vegetal notes.

Finish: medium length with hints of gooseberry and hints of vanilla.

In comparison, it fails to live up to the standard set by the previous (2005) edition.
