Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold, apricoty
air Nose
well, this one does not quite scream ‘claret!’ or ‘cab!’ at first nosing, although it’s not 100% Scotch malt whisky. Indeed raspberries and blackcurrant are soon to get quite loud and so are blood oranges and marmalade, which gives the whole a feeling of sangria. Olé! Star anise, cinchona, Schweppes… Frankly, this isn’t unpleasant, it’s just, well, something else. With water: the spirit manages to say something now. Traces of barley water, yeast and bread
restaurant Palate
bubblegum, pepper and ginger. Strawberry drops, Jell-O, raspberry eau-de-vie, juniper berries, caraway seeds. Very weird if you ask me, this premix is even less ‘Scotch’ than before. Sponge cake. With water: becomes ultra-sweet and sugary. Not whisky, candy
timer Finish
long, as if you had three or five strawberry drops in your mouth
