air Nose
Immediately brings to mind the OB 21 yo pear shape I tasted the previous week. However, in place of uber herbal qualities this one is rather more pure, chiselled and coastal. There are also these wee, oh so Cadenhead dumpy, metallic touches. Shoe polish, various medical tinctures and ointments, some green peppercorns in brine and also cereal touches and an old hay loft or two. Becomes increasingly gravelly and mineral. Lots of soot, coal scuttles, green apple peelings, dunnage and notes of ink and old newspaper. With time a few more citrus and green fruit notes start converging
restaurant Palate
Spectacular waxiness and minerality. Olive oil, coal smoke, some aged herbal liqueur, lanolin, malt extract and barley sugar. Lime juice, agave and more undulating waxiness. Spectacular and totally beautiful in its poise and fragility
timer Finish
A love letter to wax, farmyard, seashore complexity and a dusting of white stone fruits. A slug of old medicine echoes in the distance
