Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

no smoke and no peat this time, rather a little sweet and rounded varnish, a touch of earth, and quite a lot of custard. Well… With water: ah? Mercurochrome and mud… That’s a bit rugby, isn’t it. BTW, have you seen the French team? They’re terrible these days!

restaurant Palate

no, wait, indeed I’m finding a soft smokiness, perhaps a tad Caol-Ila-ish, and a feeling of smoked lemons and apples. Green peppercorn. With water: indeed, it seems that they’ve used some ex-peater cask for this one too, even if that’s much less obvious than with cask #14247 – which I liked better

timer Finish

medium, perhaps a tad undetermined. So, is it a peater or is it a ‘regular’ grain whisky?
