Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it works like a magnet, I just cannot resist this briny, slightly chilli-y nose, with its wee farmy touches (saddle) and these whiffs of slightly stale seawater (crab fishing at low tide, in the rocks). A drop of mint liqueur, a pinhead of leather powder (and why not), and lastly and generally, ‘the sea’. I keep wondering where this coastalness is coming from, if they use special forbidden enzymes or what, since these mature in central warehouses… Good folks usually answer that ‘the whole of Scotland is coastal’ but if you ask them why, say Macallan isn’t coastal then, the answer’s generally ‘let’s have a beer’. No, not all peaters are coastal either
restaurant Palate
very perfect, very much in line with earlier batches, very salty (I know there’s no salt in whisky), slightly leathery and mustardy, smoky, peppery, and just superb. Forgot to mention oysters with a drop of Tabasco
timer Finish
long and this has almost become smoked seawater blended with manzanilla. Brilliant
