Tasting Notes
Colour
orangey amber
air Nose
Old Lagavulin + sherry = beauty! You have this mix of oily, almost syrupy and luxurious peat fused with dry, leafy and salty sherry. Amongst it all there’s bitter marmalade, smoked dark chocolate with sea salt, hessian, wet leaves, wine cellar must, black truffle oil, smoked mint, iodine drops and natural tar. Given the time the peat becomes more elevated and pronounced. You are unmistakably on Islay! Get’s more peppery, more oily, drier and more towards seaweed and gloopy old medicines. Stunning and rather emotional due to the sheer force of old style charisma about it. A little more time and it starts to reveal lots of raisins, dates and dried tropical fruits. Just beautiful
restaurant Palate
Stunning! Leather, many different old tobaccos, long-aged Cuban cigars, smoked dates, raisins, tar, camphor, putty, smoked olive oil, hessian, bitter orange marmalade again, tannic black teas, paprika, dark chocolate with chilli and old school, herbal-infused dry peat smoke. All wrapped up in this very leathery and salty old school sherry
timer Finish
long, salty, gamey, leathery and full of deep, bass-like peat and dried seaweed
