Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
grubby gold
air Nose
a richer and more gingery sherry influence in this one. Rather a lot of spicy, dark grained breads, smoked German dark beers, salted liquorice, camphor and anchovy paste. Big, thick, chunky whisky! With water: camphor, tar liqueur, pine needles and cough syrup - it works well!
restaurant Palate
very punchy arrival! Malt vinegar, charred wood, iodine and tarry rope. Also some black peppercorns and feelings of roof pitch and kerosine. The relative activeness of the oak is evident but it feels reasonably well in check by this pretty monstrously peaty distillate. With water: very nicely salty, earthy and with a restrained gamey note too now. Also tons of seawater, cayenne pepper, aniseed and horseradish. A total beast that would headbutt any Octomore under the table!
timer Finish
long, very tarry, petrolic, peaty and medicinal, also extremely salty and drying now too
