Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
fresh things, like wet bracken, grasses, chalky beach pebbles and mossy bark. A feeling of petrichor, that lovely aroma of forests after rain, and then a rising waxiness which suggests a weighty distillate. Some lovely impressions of putty and various cooking oils. With water: canvass, aspirin, beach pebbles and more mineral vibes. It also retains this nice freshness and sense of greenery
restaurant Palate
rather tense, peppery and nicely sharp upon arrival. I like this feeling of tautness with brittle mineral qualities, a rather impressive saltiness and general feelings of dried flowers, herbal teas and bouillon stock. Looked at in a certain light you might be tempted to think more of its neighbour Clynelish than Pulteney. Excellent bitter citrus notes, like pithy citrus rinds, and still some waxes and a little crystallised honey. With water: excellent! Very textural, mouth-coating and pepper with more bitter citrus notes, waxes and minerals
timer Finish
good length, still quite salty, peppery and drying
