Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
bizarre! It reminds me of Sweden’s Mackmyra. Not a bad thing! Or of an experience I did quite some years ago, redistilling mostly peated whisky and re-aging it in a small ex-wine cask. So this is rather going towards sloe and some kind of medicinal mouthwash instead of straight peat, but the global feeling tends to become nicer and nicer, despite whiffs of sour oak. Also the usual overripe apples. Intriguing, as they say. Smoked ham after five minutes
restaurant Palate
more straight peat! How did they do that? By simply finishing some Glenfiddich in ex-heavy-peater casks? It’s quite nice I have to say, reminding me of some peated Benriachs. Rather ashy. A feeling of smoked cider, then more vanilla-ed sweetness
timer Finish
rather short, but clean and ashy. This feeling of smoked cider again
