Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine (surprise surprise)
air Nose
pure, naked, smoky, mineral. Oh the lovely pre-vanilla days! Silverware, chalk, metal polish, touches of rhubarb and cider apples, a little brine, and certainly a little peat smoke. It’s not impossible that this baby was distilled when oil was still in short supply, and that they had used peat instead. Love this purity
restaurant Palate
smoky ashes, camphory touches, watermelon, shoe polish, apples, drops of brine (a saltiness for sure)… Glenmorangie is very hard to recognise, this is a much smokier and saltier spirit. The whole’s pristine, although a tad simple, perhaps, despite these notes of honeydew melon that are coming out, with some pepper. I’d say it’s more or less Talisker-smoky, to give you an idea
timer Finish
medium, very salty, and more lemony. Always this pure freshness. Even more ashes in the aftertaste, perhaps some pears
