Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
beautifully clean yet complex at first nosing, extremely pure, with notes of fresh butter, flowers from the fields (our beloved dandelions), beeswax and other waxes (no paraffin that is) and then straighter fruity notes (strawberries and quite some tangerines), with also a little peat smoke. It’s very natural and maybe a tad old-style (make that traditional), which is an asset in our opinion. Absolutely no obvious wood treatment
restaurant Palate
very good ‘nervousness’, sweet, fruity (the notes of coconuts are back!), getting even fruitier over time (strawberry syrup, marshmallows). Also these very peculiar notes of overripe oranges and leather that are only to be found in Springbank or Longrow, rather discrete here. Good whisky
timer Finish
medium long, with a little salt and hints of olive oil that add to its complexity. Oak, Turkish delights and oranges
