Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
tough! Lots of plastic, chalk, clay, plasticine, ink, newspaper. Pretty austere really. Some sunflower seeds and a drop of sesame oil, then a little tang of mint and wax. But generally it’s rather brutal. Let’s go directly to the water... With water: a few geraniums emerge alongside this sort of greenhouse note. Aside from that there’s brake fluid, WD40 and some kind of generic ‘kitchen grease’
restaurant Palate
it’s one of these slightly bizarre and unusual high strength things that Cadenhead seemed to specialise in during the early 1990s (alongside many legendary bottlings as well), it seems to be very much a style of these blending factory malts during the era of the whisky loch. It’s all on plastic, sour apples, silage, cardboard, old chip oil and printer paper. Weird, difficult and pretty hot. Not hugely flawed, just a struggle. With water: getting more sour now, more cardboardy and even a tad on the rancid side
timer Finish
mercifully brief. Lingering vegetable notes, something like baked courgette
