Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

wahh! A different kind of peatiness indeed, very sooty, just as close to the grain as the unpeated version, with whiffs of ink and quite some camphor and even turpentine. Quite some almond oil as well. Works pretty well I must say. Develops more towards Dutch genever, which was unexpected. Sunflower oil

restaurant Palate

surprisingly good, and certainly more interesting than the unpeated version in my book. Ah, peat! Garden fruits, coriander, aniseed, pepper, ashes, smoked fish, lemon juice… And always these hints of ink. Now, there’s quite some oak again…

timer Finish

indeed, the finish is long but the oak’s loud, even if the peat stands up to it. Quite some lapsang souchong tea in the aftertaste
