Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
powerful, narrow but fresh, clean and as mineral and coastal as malt whisky can be at first sniffs. Not extravagant, rather displays a lot of self-restraint, so to speak. After one or two minutes, there’s more lemon and more peat but the whole remains kind of discreet and even humble. With water: smoke and ashes, ashes and smoke. It’s almost like putting your head into a coal stove – or rather a paraffin stove as it’s also quite waxy
restaurant Palate
superbly zesty, narrow again but extremely precise, chiselled as wine snobs say, all on lemon, peat, pepper and brine. In other words, doesn’t do much but what it does it does it very well. With water: same but becomes more coastal. Some unexpected touches of aromatic fruits. Litchis? I must be dreaming… Or that comes from the wood
timer Finish
long, sharp but slightly rounder than before, with touches of vanilla
