Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
what I find both charming and extremely cool about these bottlings, is that the initial nose actually appears quite subtle and shy despite the ABV. We're initially all on petrol, wet rocks, sheep wool and wee touches of camphor, brine and aniseed. There's a feeling of fatness and richness that the modern ones lack I think. With water: doubles down on anchovies, capers, seawater, brine and lemon juice. Extremely fresh and coastal but still with a deeper sense of weight to the distillate
restaurant Palate
this impression of petrol and seawater immediately, but with added layers and textures of smoked olive oil, fir wood, pine resin, natural tar and black olive paste. Also many wee notes of tobaccos, seawater, hessian and sandalwood. Extremely clever whisky that hops between power and subtlety with ease. With water: perfect now. Briny smoke, olive oil, sardines, capers, parsley, mineral salts, rope and tar. Huge whisky but brilliantly controlled and inviting
timer Finish
very long, tarry, every shade of olive, some kippery smoke, hessian and dried seaweed
