Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
more powerful, less rounded, in other words straighter than the OB. The mouldy notes are much less obvious whereas the smokiness is even bigger. Notes of cut apples, a little linseed oil and rather graphite instead of plain coal. With water: some peat comes out, hints of motor oil, even tarmac. It’s funny how some ‘natural’ Lochnagars display some of Port Ellen’s usual descriptors. I wrote ‘some’, eh!
restaurant Palate
raw but neat and clean, fruity, maybe a tad varnishy. Gets then grassier but superbly lemony, with also hints of olive oil. Assertive, as they say. With water: fab at first sipping, more on quince jelly, marmalade and figs, getting then rather grassy and lemony again. Takes water well but gets back to normal after a few seconds. An elastic profile, how interesting is that?
timer Finish
long, clean, all on lemon pie
