air Nose
I believe it was no first fill sherry and it's just better like this. Having said that I find it pretty gentle, especially after the 10 that I like so much and that I sipped a few cls of just yesterday. These wee metallic touches, this damps chalk, these touches of used engine oil, these sour herbs (tarragon), these rusty old tools, these clear notes of fino sherry, with seawater, curry, mustard and green walnuts, perhaps suet, surely soot (nice, S.!) … Just everything is to be cherished here and I find this nose vastly superior to those of earlier batches (circa 2015 and such). Now…
restaurant Palate
not quite the same class I would say, with more dry bitterness, this feeling of eating charcoal ashes or clay, and fewer coastal, waxy and smoky notes than in younger expressions. But don't get me wrong, it still beautiful whisky, it's just curiously thin – although I wouldn't say it is thin whisky as such, of course. Are you following me?
timer Finish
rather long, a tad bitter, acrid, but the saltier aftertaste is most pleasant
