Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

it’s a characterful spirit, starting with typical farmy and malty notes as well as quite some grass and tea plus a little peat smoke. Goes on with notes of vanilla custard, chamomile, quite some liquorice wood, a little porridge and then a bigger grassiness that goes very well with the general profile. Mustard. A style that’s a little ‘old skool’, very pleasantly so. And good news that they didn’t try to dope it with overactive wood! It does remind me a bit of the old Banff actually

restaurant Palate

even more unusual than on the nose, with an attack on liquorice, mustard again, blackcurrant jelly (containing little sugar) and a leathery dryness as well as a faint saltiness. It’s also quite farmy again, organic in the organoleptic sense of the word, getting finally a little roasted and sweeter. Coffee beans

timer Finish

surprisingly long, with a good deal of green peatiness and hints of white rum. Cane sugar in the aftertaste
