Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
superb! A walk in the woods after a tropical storm (soon everywhere on this planet), with pine cones, mushrooms, moss, bark, rotting wood, pine needles… Really very lovely, just not very Lagavulin, but I suppose that isn’t what’s important. With water: more of all that. Some very well-composed old pipe tobacco, perhaps by Mr. Dunhill himself. I find this earthiness pretty stunning
restaurant Palate
rather extraordinary, huge, even aggressive, ridden with sharp citrus juices, saps and resinous oils, and this Jerezian dryness that leads to leather, walnuts and roasted pecans. Big stuff. With water: it is rough whisky, do not expect something well-polished and civilised. There are even sour meats and some bizarre fruits (I shall not mention durian… too late!)
timer Finish
very long, sour and sweet, and bitter at the same time, unbalanced, kind of muddled, and yet just top-notch. The aftertaste is rather more medicinal
