Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
starts between kirsch and nail polish remover, goes on with melon jam and seawater, as well as muscadet and kiwis, with touches of new plastic in the background. Plastic is bad in the oceans, but it can be lovely in whisky, well that’s my opinion. Okay ‘a feeling of plastic’. With water: sour waters, muds, rugged fabric, porridge, and minimal amounts of smoke. Different indeed
restaurant Palate
reminds me of Moon Import’s In The Pink bottling. Sour apples, smoke, grapefruit juice, seawater, burnt pumpkin cake, liquorice. Not your average Lagavulin indeed. With water: lovely, and rather reminiscent of Silvano’s Longrows this time. Baker’s yeast and smoke, leaven, soot, sour lemons, mezcal… It’s getting brilliant, it’s just that it needed time
timer Finish
long, and the best part of it. Superb sooty/lemony rise to the stars, with a stunning mineral ending. Kurozawa indeed
