Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this is a peated one but what’s quite strange is this combination of very fruity, almost bubblegumy notes (bananas for sure, also pineapple drops, pears) with a heavy, acrid smoke, rather toward a garden bonfire under a mild rain. Heavy grass. We’re very far from the luscious old honey bombs… With water: raw smoke and mentholated barley. Twenty menthol cigarettes burning, then hints of hay and cow stable…
restaurant Palate
ultra-peaty and mega-grassy, almost monstrous. Very spectacular, hugely ashy as well, not unlike Octomore or Ardbeg Supernova if those ring a bell. In short, it’s extreme – an ashtray in a bottle. With water: becomes sweeter and cooler (the methols’s effect?) Much more lemony as well. Good stuff!
timer Finish
long, even more lemony now, while the peat became more civilised
