air Nose
it’s a style that’s got more cider and raw ‘genuine’ apple juice, as well as more hydrocarbons, diesel oil, then hessian, fisherman’s nets, seaweed… In short, it’s rather more coastal than more recent distillates, but also a little less pure and crystal-clean, if you see what I mean. Which is nicest? Hard to say… Maybe water will help. With water: bang, camphor, and big time! The greatest cough syrup ever, makes you want to get sick…
restaurant Palate
big creaminess and an immense citrusness, all being impressive. Lemon marmalade, mango chutney, olive oil, Campari and anchovies. In case you haven’t noticed, this is big, big whisky. With water: the more you add water, the bigger it gets. Pure magic – black magic in this case?
timer Finish
extremely long, as if you had chewed a whole double corona. Lime and smoke in the aftertaste
