Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
yeah, it’s one of those powerful monsters that Cadenhead were issuing at the time. No sweetness, no roundness, only flints, rocks, apple peelings, sour wood, plasticine, and sulphur. Plain sulphur, not burnt sulphur, that’s very different. With water: vegetables. Beans, perhaps, asparagus, artichokes, Greek yoghurt… How very ‘mid-1990s Cadenhead’s’!
restaurant Palate
quite superb! The nose was almost unbreakable, but this is pure lemon juice. Yuzu sauce, concentrated cinchona, unripe lime… Takes your tongue hostage, in a way, but that’s most pleasant – no you don’t need to be a masochist to enjoy this palate-batterer of a whisky. With water: truly superb, in its very own, very austere style. Petroly riesling
timer Finish
long, kind of fat, and yet fully mineral
