Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
as expected, this is a slightly rawer, and even more nervous version. The olives are in the nose this time, together with litres of motor oil, fresh paint and turpentine. The peat isn’t too wham-bam this time, its even a little discreet – or transmuted. Sci-fi Caol Ila? Also a little caraway and cardamom – nice additional touches. With water: whelks ;-)
restaurant Palate
an immense blast of soot, ashes, strong herbal liqueur and limoncello, with unexpected touches of marshmallows and Turkish delights coming through as well. A curious, but great feeling of pina colada as well. A peaty one, that is. With water: perfect creamy peat and again a little coconut and tangerines in the background. Maybe also lavender sweets?
timer Finish
long, walking on the thin line just between fruit liqueurs and smoky salted liquorice
