Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this is the G&M CC at the power of two. More mineral wax, brake fluid, huge paraffin, lemon skin, also some mashed potatoes, or rather turnips, or even carrots… Then a little smoky humus and dried mushrooms. Say porcinis. Some dill and fennel too. With water: a little medicinal, and kind of muddy. A country doctor’s old Land Rover (ha-ha) and a handful of grist
restaurant Palate
a lovely almost pastis-like arrival, very tense yet again, then a development rather on absinth and even chartreuse. Also lime juice, grass, and wax. Impeccably dry. With water: reminds you that you’ve got a spine, with a kind of very grassy acidity that’s not often to be encountered in malt whisky. Certainly not in modern malt whisky. Bone-dry petroly riesling
timer Finish
long, very dry, bitter, acidic and grassy. Count your vertebras
