Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
what we love in a fairly young malt whisky, that it to say barley, brioche dough, porridge, custard, very fresh baguette and a touch of cappuccino, all that in perfect sync. We do not need more, adding flavours from the outside would only be… superfluous in this case. With water: touches of tiny herbs, white asparagus (they have arrived!) broken branches, some fresh earth, a little humus…
restaurant Palate
pungent at this strength, a tad buttery (not butyric), with some freshish oak that the humble taster still needs to tame… with water, I guess. With water: indeed. Lovely citrusy/herbal combination now, I cannot not think of Japanese green tea – but sadly, I do not know much about those. Have to do my homework!
timer Finish
long, fresh, clean, on barley, citrons and muesli. Touches of orange peel in the aftertaste
