Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

I think they excel at these kinds of bottlings, well-carved small batches, younger whiskies… In this case it starts with some mercurochrome and some fattish waxy smoke, and would go on with apple peelings, fresh walnuts, fresh almonds, crushed hazelnuts and just grist

restaurant Palate

awesome and singular. Touches of fresh branches, clematis, pineapple eau-de-vie (a tricky juice to make, believe me), then some obvious wood (cedarwood, sawdust…) CI's ashy smokiness keeps ruling all that

timer Finish

rather long;, fruity (wine gums, pineapple), with some sweet oak impact. A rooty side in the aftertaste (gentian)
