Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
red amber/copper
air Nose
starts a wee tad buttery, like many Hanyus in my meagre experience, and gets then rather meaty, with some ham and notes of pencil shavings. Not too easy to nose when undiluted. With water: I wouldn’t say it changed much. Butter cream, old chenin blanc, heather honey… No, wait, it gets pretty immensely floral, which is really cool. Peonies, pot-pourri, roses, lilac… A ‘different’ whisky for sure
restaurant Palate
massive, acidic and jammy at the same time, with a buttery oak and notes of lavender sweets and Toplexil. The jury’s still out… With water: gingerbread, ginger, mango chutney, white pepper, coriander… It’s getting there, it’s getting there. It’s really pretty different
timer Finish
long, rather spicy, on a slightly sour honeyed base. Mead and ham – nice meal!
