Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
the oily texture of this malt is already apparent on the nose! Seems to be a heavily peated version, with lots of resinous wood ash, some coal, and the bergamots of Nancy, even a touch of fatty ham. Then, a clearer line emerges with roasted chestnuts, camphor, and sauna oils. That Japanese character feels prominent. A magnificent nose so far. With water: an exquisite dance of waxes, fresh putty, camphor, and assorted peppers, including Sichuan pepper
restaurant Palate
rich and indeed oily, but those little citrus notes, led by bergamot, bring immediate and wonderful freshness. In the background, some lovely bitters that give it an almost Italian edge. With water: a fat, smoky peat takes the reins. Impressions of smoked olive oil and green walnuts follow
timer Finish
long, still oily but never tiring. There’s a subtle salty, minty touch and naturally spiced olive oil
