Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a raw, even more mineral and flinty version of Caol Ila. Rather pungent and aggressive without water, so let’s water it down right away… With water: it’s its youth that comes out, with wagons of pears and a kind of fruity smokiness that’s hard to describe. Very simple spirit, but very appealing spirit. Superb notes of raspberries coming through after a few seconds. Fruit eau-de-vie from Islay?
restaurant Palate
very strong, extremely sweet, and tasting just like some kind of a peated pear spirit that just ran out of the still. Brutal! With water: ah yes, now it became absolutely superb… except that it’s much more gentian spirit than whisky. Amazing – did the cask transit through the Alps?
timer Finish
long and majestic (even if rather simple), under the ruling triumvirate gentian- peat smoke- salt
