Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
immediately rather sooty, metallic and with these wee peppery touches of new oak. Smoked varnish, hessian, tar and rather a lot of medical ointments and some leathery meaty notes. Hot putty, camphor and aspirin. With water: a lot more cohesive and interesting with water. Smoked peats, paprika, tar, ointments, smoked white fish and sandalwood
restaurant Palate
you do kind of get this rather hefty impression from the PX, or rather the oak of the PX cask. Which continues with this vibe of smoked green peppercorns and sawdust alongside this smoky varnish aspect and brinier qualities. Some dried seaweed and black olives too. A whisky of two halves in some respects. In time it’s more ashy and with smoked olive oil and salty pasta water. With water: slated butter, mixed dried herbs, coal dust and more smoked paprika and black pepper notes
timer Finish
long, deeply smoky, earthy, peppery, sooty and with these slightly dirty boiler smoke notes
