Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this is unexpectedly gentler than the Clynelish, a little peatier indeed but not that much, certainly coastal (oysters) and moderately farmy (hay). A sourness in the background (lime juice, yoghurt) and whiffs of wet newspapers. Also an unusual spiciness (cumin and nutmeg). Of course it’s nice but nothing really impressive so far, especially since the Clynelish is much bigger – and that isn’t only the sherry. With water: not much development, it got a little more coastal and leathery (some shoe polish as well, almond oil) but the rest almost vanished. Doesn’t swim too well
restaurant Palate
okay, okay, it’s quite wonderful. Rather more peat than expected, some pepper, some jams (apricots, plums), quite some lemon, marzipan and an obvious saltiness. And balance is quite perfect! Let’s try it with water: wonderful! Smoky almond liqueur (yeah, should that exist), seashells, sweet mustard, lemon marmalade and green pepper
timer Finish
rather long, more resinous and very pleasantly bitter. Something both grassy and lemony in the aftertaste
