Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
I had feared this baby would be just the same whisky as the Liquid Sun, it’s not. There’s more vanilla cream, more fresh butter and more acacia honey in this one, and almost none of those nice perfumy touches. Yet, I also seem to find a little mullein (syrup or eau-de-vie). The ever reliable Wikipedia says that’s Verbascum Thapsus. Maybe also a little yoghurt/yeast, which works pretty well. With water: as often, both whiskies converge once diluted. Provided you’re using the same water of course ;-)
restaurant Palate
sweet and rounded and extremely easy. Fruit liqueurs aplenty, with just a few spices such as nutmeg and white pepper. You have to be careful when tasting this kind because it goes down without notice. With water: same, sweet, easy, fruity, just a notch rougher than it’s sibling (hints of green oak)
timer Finish
same, easy, not very long, clean, sweet, fruity…
