Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
a first! Seriously, it’s the first time that I can nose a whisky that smells exactly like a basket of fresh mushrooms, and this is no joke. Believe me, there’s nothing else, only fresh mushrooms. Don’t worry, we’ll spare you useless descriptors such as “rhodopaxillus obscurus picked in early November at 6am” or “young boletus edulis found next to my stepfather’s country house” but you get the drift. And I absolutely adore mushrooms…
restaurant Palate
well, this is less mushroomy, but still a bit on the mouldy side. Good body at the attack, with also very pleasant leathery notes, a little coffee, a little liquorice, a little mint, hints of aniseed, then more liquorice, then kind of an earthiness that leads us to… more mushrooms! Isn’t this whisky magic?
timer Finish
not too long but clean, full and more candied and honeyed, with quite some mint in the aftertaste
