Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

the danger with trying these things after whiskies like the first two is that you can get carried away. For example we appear to have warped comfortably into another galaxy in terms of quality here. Lots of honey and butter on brown toast, pollens beeswax and touches of chamomile and green teas. Some pineapple jelly, lemon curd and sweet glazed pastries. Very lovely! With water: hessian, cider apples, mead, salted butter, lime leaf and some delicate ointments

restaurant Palate

seriously, this is really lovely! A prickle of wood spice then crystallised papaya and mango chunks, ripe banana, star fruit, orange oils, camphor, touches of hessian and wax. Wonderfully honeyed, lightly tropical, the perfect bit of spice keeping things lively and fresh in the mouth. Embarrassingly pleasurable. With water: excellent development. Warming spices, heather, some fruity new world IPA, more hessian and things like lanolin and lamp oil. Still perfectly fruity

timer Finish

good length, some slightly bitter herbs emerging along with putty, yellow plums and dry farmhouse cider
