Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
tell me about light, floral Lowlanders! This is a big as the biggest Highlanders at first nosing and full of soot, shoe polish and ‘garage tools’ before it starts to unfold on more fruitiness (stewed mangos?), with great whiffs of eucalyptus, mint liqueur and tiger balm and then whiffs of musty old cellar, mushrooms and cigars. Even some ‘Chartroose’ as Tarentino would say. Huge complexity and even a feeling of ‘good OBE’ (old bottle effect – yep I know this is no old bottle)
restaurant Palate
awow! Very complex, oily, almost thick, with a lot of rum agricole, olive oil, lime liqueur and bitters. Very unusual in fact, I don’t quite know what happened here but what’s sure is that the end result is quite brilliant. A cask with heads in eucalyptus wood? Or an ex-Ardbeg cask? (that would be my guess)
timer Finish
medium long, on crystallised lemon zests and again these notes of chartreuse. The aftertaste is a notch more bitter
