Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

hello? There isn’t much happening, it’s almost a mix of apple juice and sugared water. Okay, there are some rather nice whiffs of dandelions and other ‘nectary’ flowers but other than that, it’s pretty silent spirit. Maybe pears?... Wait wait wait, now it’s coming, old engine grease, coriander, shoe polish, old cellar, metal (old tools), then a little eucalyptus, mint-flavoured tea, rocks… What a lazy b…. thank God I gave it a little time!

restaurant Palate

waaah, it really woke up now, and I don’t know of any modern whisky that would be so big at 40% vol. and after forty years in glass. Same beautiful metallic tones as in the nose, liquorice, many herbs, mint lozenges, real ale, traces of peat, pepper, ginger, then something coastal… Did they put Talisker into this bottle – by mistake?

timer Finish

impressively long considering the ABV, and briny and peppery
