Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

it’s very clean and unexpectedly fruity at first, without any peat or ashes burst and in that sense it reminds me a bit of the official ‘unpeated style’ at first nosing. Becomes more medicinal after a while, with quite a lot of eucalyptus, Vicks style. With water: the peat comes out, together with ashes and soot, but it never becomes a so-called peat monster. Also more and more oil (heating oil)

restaurant Palate

punchy and as good as a young CI can get, with more or less the same notes as on the nose. Cough syrup, lemon marmalade and smoked salmon. There is some brine as well but rather less than in other CIs in my opinion. With water: classic now. A lot of brine and ashes. Smoked anchovies?

timer Finish

long, drier as often, salty, with this feeling of oil and maybe menthol in the aftertaste
