Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
typical old Highland style at first sniffing, a style that’s more and more difficult to find at operating (Clynelish, Pulteney, Springbank and? And?...) It’s certainly rather smoky, dry, maybe a tad wobbly aromatically but the absence of in-your-face sweetness makes it most desirable. Moss, mushrooms, mustard, soot, saltpetre, wet cardboard, chalk, grass, paraffin, fermenting hay… Really old style!
restaurant Palate
once again, it’s no perfect whisky at the attack, it’s probably a tad too cardboardy and oddly sooty/mineral but the rest is superb. Wasabi, leather, old rum, walnuts, dry sherry, pomegranate, dry white wine (sauvignon)… It’s kind of naughty but don’t we all like that?
timer Finish
rather long, now much spicier and much more peppery, with a distinct peatiness. Herbs
