Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

may I see the empty cask? This has some smoke and an obvious medicinal side, which suggests it was an ex-peater cask. Under those conditions, the very light distillate hasn’t much to say (the Bill Wyman of whisky?) while this rather elusive coastal/medicinal smokiness rather works. A very light Islay, if you will. With water: more of all that, even some ashes… Far in the distance, the usual coconut

restaurant Palate

once again it’s the peat that’s doing all the talking. White peaches and peat smoke, we cannot not think of Ardmore. With water: peat up! This is really funny… (and good)

timer Finish

long, smoky, crisp, with notes of lemon
