Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
there's clear familiarity with the 1982 but these 74s have extra power in the form of this almost gelatinous peat aroma, petrol, wet kelp and tarred rope. More muscular, more medicinal and globally a feeling of greater thickness and more power. Many gorgeous subtle aromas beneath all that as well, impressions of crushed seashells and beach pebbles, ink, green peppercorns in brine. With water: more herbal and mentholated now, going towards dried herbs, eucalyptus, tiger balm and smoked heather beers
restaurant Palate
superbly salty, coastal, sharp and full of oily peat flavours, raw lemon juice, sheep wool oils and camphor. Also things like putty, brined olives and more tarry rope vibes. Massive and totally brilliant whisky! With water: brilliant with water now! Perfectly fat, oily, tarry and peppery peat smoke flavour with seawater, lemon juice, TCP olive brines
timer Finish
long, still on wonderfully fat peat smoke vibes, smoked sea salt, petrol and powerful coastal impressions
