Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
fat and extraordinarily winey. And by winey, I mean it exhales notes of venerable white wine of great pedigree, perhaps a Montrachet or one of its closely related crus. What follows is a curious mix of rose petal and camphor with just a touch of paraffin. In short, a highly unusual nose… With water: the paraffin remains and is joined by linseed oil and charcoal fixative. In short, a malt for artists
