Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
superbly fresh and medicinal, all on bandages, wet rocks, oysters and citrus juices, matched by green olives and sharper notes of gooseberry and sour Gueuze beers. I also find a lovely heathery smokiness and more medicinal embrocations and sea air. Pristine and beautiful old school Caol Ila
restaurant Palate
amazing richness of peat smoke flavour, really like they’ve captured this ‘head in a kiln’ vibe in distillate form. Superbly silky in texture, wonderfully crisp coastal freshness and then many thicker medicinal things like mercurochrome and TCP. Those green and sharper citrus fruit notes still remain in the background
timer Finish
good length, back on medicinal notes, coal smoke, a nicely tarry quality and more things like black pepper, iodine and smoked olive oil
