air Nose
this is a whisky unlike any other, I think I’ve seldom nosed something that was so delicately herbal (despite the big notes of Williams pears in the background). In fact, it’s a combination of verbena, wormwood, coriander, aniseed and maybe plain grass with pears and muesli. There’s also a lot of hay (on a hot summer day, no need to say). This could be great whisky…
restaurant Palate
even more unusual. Starts very cardboardy, ultra-dry, maybe even a tad flat, but contrarily to the 19yo, it takes off a bit after a few seconds. Mind you, it never becomes a winner but once again, some unexpected notes of herbs do emerge. In fact, it’s like an old-style herbal liqueur. I believe that comes from bottle ageing - partly. Too bad it’s soon to become flat and dull again
timer Finish
very short. Woosh
