Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
the Highlands blowing into your face. Heather, sea air, barley, paraffin, some oil lost on the road by an old Land Rover, perhaps even a little mutton suet. Not sure about the mutton suet. Behind that, plenty of grapefruits. With water: there, old coins, old tools, mint tea, Barbour grease, gunflints…
restaurant Palate
powerful, extremely well-chiselled (why have I mentioned Saint Magdalene? It does have something of Saint Magdalene), and both very leafy and very citrusy. Cherry leaves infused in lemon liqueur. In the background, very discreet touches of wasabi and mustard, which is very Banff. With water: exceptional. Opens up like a Lagavulin Bay oyster as soon as it’s seen a bottle of 16 years old. Grapefruit marmalade (the best marmalade), salty almonds, angelica, greengages… Now the wasabi disappeared
timer Finish
you bet, its back! A long sweet and mustardy finish, very precise
