Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
totally the 12, only at the power of two. That means more vanilla, more sawdust, more bread dough, more croissants, more popcorn, to which you would add quite some medicinal notes, which are coming unexpected. In the style of Vicks VapoRub. With water: water works greatly. Mint-filled pastries of some sorts and a whole panettone. I utterly adore good fresh panettone - I just wanted to get that on the record
restaurant Palate
pretty heavy on the oak, as if this was some young malt by some new ‘craft’ distillers. Feels boosted, oaked-up, but not unpleasantly so, it’s just very ‘modern’. Whether Glenkinchie’s distillate is big enough to stand such treatment is to be seen… once water’s been added. With water: no, we’re okay, sure the oak is loud and the spirit a little weak, but this has been composed with care. Nutshell: it is not just oak juice
timer Finish
quite long, tea-ish, oaky
