Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
they must have invented the words ‘smoky’ and ‘crystalline’ for this single cask. Essentially, it feels like an extract of the previous Ichiro’s #10772. Ultra-precise notes of green apple, seaweed, peat, lemon, and wet chalk, evolving into soot, melted candle wax, yellow curry, and satay sauce. Quite mad, really. With water: absolutely stunning! Rubber tree, new tyres, fir ash, tobacco ashes, spearmint… It’s like a 50/50 blend of Laphroaig and Ardbeg
restaurant Palate
monumental power. Seawater, lemon, and three tonnes of ash. Let’s make that five. With water: a few olives and candied lemon join the fray, while the ash becomes even more massive
timer Finish
very long, sharp, ultra-peaty, with a lingering aftertaste of roasted green tea, gentian liqueur, and verbena
