Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

well, as often with these whiskies at very high strength, you get quite some coffee at first nosing, and not too much peat. After all that, more fresh almonds, brine, whelks (and why not? Clams if you like), seaweed and the expected ashes. Also a little burnt bread but again, that may come from the high strength. With water: it’s the raw barley that comes out more, together with more coastal notes - rather warm seawater this time. Fodder silo

restaurant Palate

a blend of almond oil, lemon juice and pickle juice. Oh, and a lot of alcohol but I must say this is pleasantly narrow and sharp. Yep, like a blade. With water: brine all over the place, plus lemon juice. No peat monster for sure

timer Finish

medium long, more on grapefruit juice this time. And barley wine? Very briny aftertaste
