air Nose

All manner of precious hardwoods, waxes, spices, dark chocolate, dark and crystallised fruits. Graphite, wet earth, moss, soot, wood embers, black pepper, black olives, a few ripe cherries, wild strawberries and the most delicate note of ointment underneath it all. We are accelerating towards anti-maltoporn brigade territory with pant-flambeing speed! Gets increasingly tropical and obscenely luscious with these notes of banana, guava and pineapple. But there’s also farmyard, motor oil, tool sheds and cough medicine as well. An epic poem of a whisky! With water: Pure olfactory harmony. A ballet of fresh and dried fruits, waxes, leather, hessian, wood spice, farmyard and this tertiary sherry character which sits in the background conducting and holding everything together with breathtaking precision. A masterpiece!

restaurant Palate

As my friend Jonny often says when tasting epic whiskies: ‘shit the bed!’. A cavalcade of resins, waxes, ointments, dried fruits, barley sugar, precious teas, aged cigars. Obscene, unabashed, maltoporn central I’m afraid. With water: now we can add myriad herbal notes, aged bitters, a lick of gentian, coal dust, mushroom powder and rancio. Just perfection!

and... goodnight!
