Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

very pure, very mineral, with a delicate coastal-type smoke and some wonderful notes of bananas and guavas. A lot of chalk too, whiffs of menthol and pine resin, also yellow peaches, also chardonnay. Around the Montrachets, if you really need an area. Indeed, top-notch wine-malt. With water: perfect zing. Actually more a Sancerre-type of very chalky wine. These kinds of noses just floor me because of their purity and precision

restaurant Palate

splendidly medicinal and mineral, with crystallised citrus and zests plus a perfect 'resinous' smoke. Stunning tightness, this one never loses focus. We'll call it Leica (ha-ha). With water: waxes in force and lemon zests. And yet it's rather fat, deeply textured malt whisky. Hope they haven't broken the mould and that future GGs will come close to this style again. Even if it's perhaps a tad uncommercial. Perhaps

timer Finish

long, incredibly waxy, clean, citrusy, doughy, perfect
