Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
rather on sour bread and walnuts at first, with unexpected notes of ripe strawberries in the background. Whiffs of old wine cellar (or a Jerezian bodega) and very fragrant lilies. It's a little restless and is moving rather a lot between those strawberries and old dunnage, let's add water. With water: very fermentary now. Artisan sour ale, fermenting fruits of all kinds (especially plums), more damp old wood, a touch of stewed bok choy, old mimolette cheese, leek, aniseed and caraway… This is almost more food than whisky (but whisky is food, S.!)
restaurant Palate
pretty heavy, with a lot of marmalade and pickled ginger, fresh turmeric, peppered cranberry sauce (would you pass the grouse) and leather. With water: rather less leathery, and more on sweet oranges, orange drops, easy marmalade, allspice…
timer Finish
rather long, and gentler and easier yet, which is exactly not what happens with most whiskies that are getting drier. Now the aftertaste is very peppery
