Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
a tale of a chrysalis blossoming into a butterfly, thanks to the grace of a very fine cask. There’s still that powdered sulphur (not burnt), chalk, even a bit of lime, paraffin, but also citrus fruits and their peels, with a touch of beeswax mixed with propolis, much like one finds in a beehive. Rather adore it, I must say. With water: wax paper, a hint of lapsang souchong—not too much—and a stack of old magazines stored in an ancient cellar. Rather like the wedding of Charles and Lady Di, or that scuffle between the Stranglers and the Clash
restaurant Palate
superb, very compact and coherent, with smoked lemons and minty seaweed, plus some wax and that’s all. But that’s already quite a lot. With water: everything falls into place perfectly, one of the most idiosyncratic malt whiskies in the world, showing a particularly emblematic version of this distillate’s style, which isn’t always the case. Wax, carbon, lemon zest, roots, petrol
timer Finish
long but gentler, a bit buttery, with peanut butter, peat smoke, and... a tiny sardine. The lemons hold their ground in the aftertaste
