Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

the palest Pinot Noir whisky I’ve ever encountered. Perhaps they used Pinot Noir grapes with minimal maceration, pressed quickly with almost no skin contact, producing something more akin to a white wine, much like a Champagne blanc de noirs. Thankfully, there’s no trace of stems, blackcurrants, cherries, or raspberries here. Instead, we’re greeted with vanilla, ripe plums, raisin pastries, and juicy mirabelles. Quite pleasant, really

restaurant Palate

uh-oh, here comes the Pinot Noir influence. Grape seeds, skins, stems, green tea, and ginger make themselves known

timer Finish

much the same—green pepper and a touch of tannic bitterness
