air Nose
wow, very unusual! It starts on some very bold notes of burning candles and oxidized apple juice, paraffin, passion fruits and kirsch. Whiffs of burnt caramel, burnt bread, coal, chimney… Also some raspberry liquor and calvados. Really different! It gets then a little sourish, with hints of Madeira and sweet light fruit vinegar, mead, tequila… It’s a whole bar! Goes on with some notes of old books, getting slightly dusty and with whiffs of cinnamon on a plum pie. Complex and very, very interesting. Ah, and now there’s some bold praline. Beautiful

ha, this is really unusual, as it starts on some very heavy notes of kirsch again, plum eau de vie (quetsche, kind of dark-red plum), calvados and grappa. Funny! Lots of fruits, Muscat, white currant… It grows stronger and stronger. Notes of rosewater, Gewurztraminer, rice spirit (mei kwei lu), with lots of chocolate and mocha. It then gets quite tannic and rummy… Decidedly a whole bar. The finish is long, rather hot and quite spirity. In short, this one is quite a beast and all these ‘eau de vie’ notes might not please everyone, but I really like it a lot, for it’s unlike any other malt I’ve tasted. 90 points .
