Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
goodness me, peat really does cling to any distillate like misfortune to the lower clergy of Brittany. But here, it remains wonderfully assertive, adding to the usual trio of chalk, apple, and barley with a proper dose of smoke and even a few maritime notes. With water: astonishing stuff. How much peated Chichibu was left in that cask? Fifty litres? The waves of beechwood-smoked salmon are utterly remarkable
restaurant Palate
zzzzeooom! That’s the sound of a blade cleaving the humble taster clean in half, to the precise millimetre. Lemon peel, ashes, chalk, lemon again, and cardamom. With water: well, the peat isn’t going anywhere, but that’s hardly a complaint. Think lemon in the fireplace
timer Finish
long, pure, slightly oily (pistachio oil) and then very lemony. The ash lingers on
