Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

indeed it’s peatier, but it’s not a peat monster. The first thing you’re thinking of is lapsang souchong tea, then this faint sucrosity again. Sugar syrup. What’s really lovely is the way it develops on old roses, dried flowers, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood and all that. Even pinesap and embrocations. Bandages?

restaurant Palate

like! A crisp salty lemony medicinal style, between Caol Ila and Ardbeg. All right, all right, more towards Caol Ila. Oysters. What’s sure is that it’s rather more maritime than on the nose

timer Finish

quite long, crisp, clean, perhaps a little mineral – which is rather un-Japanese in my book. Lemons aplenty now
