air Nose
It’s peated, but softer and rounder, I might even say angelic. Tropical fruits and some yellow flowers bring it closer to an older Laphroaig, if you catch my drift. Mandarins, blood oranges... A few notes of violet and cranberry, but far from the 1980s Bowmore style. There’s also a touch of mint tea. With water: the pure peat returns, alongside plaster, raw wool, and ashes, with a distinct ‘working kiln’ vibe
restaurant Palate
powerful, sharp, green. Mint, lime, a bit of fir wood, and a saline edge (potash)... it really plays with your lips. With water: superb, medicinal, heavy on peppermint with lots of lemon and grapefruit zest. Water suits it perfectly. Oh, and plenty of freshly caught oysters
timer Finish
long, pure, with the emergence of putty and glue. A bit of Timut pepper and more citrus in the aftertaste
