Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
fresh, almost ethereal but vibrant, starting mostly on fruits such as pears (truckloads), apples and strawberries and going on with seaweedy notes. Quite some iodine, notes of ginger tonic, a little mercurochrome, oysters… Then it’s back to the fruits, riper this time (apple pie, poached pears). Ultra-clean and very coastal but peatless. Just faint notes of soap if you sniff very deeply (no, it isn’t my glass)
restaurant Palate
simpler now – not that the nose was utterly complex – but full bodied, with quite some salted liquorice and caramelised nuts as well as lots of fresh herbs (I can think of chive, parsley and chervil). The saltiness strikes back, and then the fruits again, more oranges and grapefruits this time. Clean and very precise
timer Finish
rather long, nicely bitter now (a little wood and tea, orange skin) but always very salty. Most enjoyable, characterful and lively. A nice variation to have in your bar if you see to the upkeep of a good dozen styles of malts. 86 points . Pulteney 28 yo 1977/2005 (57.7%, Duncan Taylor, cask #3075, 216 bottles)
