Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

orgeat syrup, lemon preserve, seawater, damp wool, wee touches of tar and smoked salmon, though the whole ensemble strikes me as very mild, very kind, nearly harmless for Lagavulin. With water: more tincture of iodine, Mercurochrome, oysters. Phew!

restaurant Palate

pronounced sweetness, perhaps that’s the PX at play? Once again this jammy profile, plum preserve, then more green pepper and dried seaweed, so all in all we’re firmly back on Islay. With water: still sweet, but the DNA is clearly there, even if it’s rather swaddled in softness. One is reminded a little of gentian liqueur

timer Finish

fairly long, a little more peppery, though still on the sweet side. More ashes towards the back
