Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it’s a very different beast, very powerful, spirity and medicinal (we’re talking antiseptic – not antisceptic). There’s some peat smoke, ashes, rocks, clay, roots, leaves and green apples but as I wrote, it’s powerful. Water is needed… With water: it got really wild, both coastal and farmy, somewhat ala Springbank. Farmyard, stable, kelp… In the background, more and more cough medicine, mint, camphor… Our beloved Vicks Vaporub?
restaurant Palate
very punchy, young, much less smoky than on the nose but with more obvious wood influence (bitter ginger here). Green apples, liquorice wood, gentian roots, brine… It’s very potent malt whisky. With water: excellent, herbal, malty, rooty, quite smoky and just as wild
timer Finish
long, crisp and farmy at the same time, with a little salt in the aftertaste
