Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
this one starts all on burnt herbs and barbecue marshmallows, which sounds a tad strange but which isn’t. Jelly beans, then more herbs, lit cigar, garden bonfire, a little apple compote, butter cream, fruity beer (Belgian faro), rose-scented soap… We’re far from a zesty and mineral CI here, but it’s indubitably an interesting variant. With water: some soap coming out, mashed potatoes, beer, feints, wet cloth…
restaurant Palate
sweet, lemony start, soon to become bitter, medicinal and very tarry, not without reminding me of some old style Ardbeg in a way. Very creamy mouth feel. With water: soapy kippers – well, more or less but again, not as bad as it sounds
timer Finish
long, salty, moderately smoky
