Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
the sherry’s polite but assertive from the outset, with green walnut, raisins and a dab of sweet mustard, but the distillate, gloriously waxy and oily, soon takes command, to our great delight. This cask does feel just a touch more rustic than its splendid cousin, #8552. Beyond that, thoughts inevitably drift once more to that beloved distillery on Orkney, in similar or slightly older vintages. And now—yes—heather honey enters the chat. With water: a fine appearance of camphor, eucalyptus and menthol, all stepping forward with poise
restaurant Palate
the Japanese side reasserts itself here, with flickers of horseradish invigorating a rich, honeyed and texturally weighty profile. Splashes of sea water and a trace of smoky brine only serve to reinforce the structure. With water: now the citrus charges in, dressed in honey and olive oil, forming what I’d call a near-perfect ensemble—something approaching the spirit of an Italian Renaissance still life, if you'll forgive the flourish
timer Finish
good length, more resinous and oily, with citrus returning alongside hints of seawater
