Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
this is much rawer when neat, more vegetal as well. Roots, damp earth, then almonds, walnut skin and that ‘coastality’ (or coastalness?) that translates more into clams and other seashells here. With water: gets grassier and even more austere before it gets smokier and, yes, very medicinal (camphor, Vicks). Quite mentholated too
restaurant Palate
big and archetypical this time, huge peatiness, a little aniseed, marzipan and all thing seashell. Reminds me of a Caol Ila Rare Malt but I just can’t remember which one (that’s very useful, thanks Serge.) With water: a little sweeter (vanilla) than the Whisky-Fässle but still austere globally. Green tea, notes of horseradish. Good ‘Islayness’
timer Finish
long, rooty, peaty and peppery. Especially the aftertaste is very peppery and has something of Talisker this time
