Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
more or less what I was actually expecting, many aromas overlap, especially the salty, coastal, rooty and olive-y sides. Which generates an increased feeling of 'smoked olive brine' to which we are absolutely not opposed. With water: no, chalk, rocks, slate, wool, smoky porridge…
restaurant Palate
I'd have never said this was premixed with tequila. A lot of brine, seawater, olives, gherkins, samphires, oyster plant, then pickled plums and small lemons, while it is getting a little more syrupy over the minutes. Iodine and plasticine are there too. With water: frankly sweeter, but that can be very Lagavulin too. We're also somewhat reminded of the Italian olive liqueurs, which they make for example around the Lago de Garda if I remember well
timer Finish
long, very Lagavulin, very briny
