Tasting Notes

Colour

straw (I’ve seen darker vattings of this at the same ABV and from roughly the same era so there must be a few variants out there)

air Nose

what’s funny is how close we are to the 1992. We’re still in this maelstrom of clays, waxes, putty, chalk, beach pebbles, ink and soft peat. Only here there’s a more focused and concentrated layer of exotic fruits draped over everything. Things like melon, papaya, mango and kumquat

restaurant Palate

starts surprisingly soft but then builds beautifully. Syrupy, slightly greasy, oily and fat in texture. Salty, waxy, some citrus peels, chalk and again this rather punchy medical quality. Brilliant distillate!

timer Finish

long, peppery, lemony, medical, chalky, waxy and nicely mineral
