Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
apricot
air Nose
fumes, blackcurrant buds, concrete, brake dust, rye indeed, leaven bread and sourdough, crêpes and pancakes… Well it seems that the bready rye is having the upper hand, which of course pleases us mucho. No belly of a hare having run through the tall grass at five o'clock in the morning at this stage and no dirty old mop either. With water: bresaola and Grisons meat, serious. Smoked ham
restaurant Palate
well, it's certain that the folks at Berry Bros know how to select a cask of whisky. To be completely honest, this one is extremely bizarre, with a kind of raspberry smoked with black pepper set on fire or something like that, but the result is quite excellent, even if we're not too sure what category of spirits it would fall into anymore. And does smoked lavender exist? Except in Bowmore from the 1980s? The rye's texture is quite spectacular, almost as oily as oil. With water: more smoke, hydrocarbons, raw fuel, orange skin, cherry stems and leaves… Also grapefruits, which is cool and somewhat stabilizing
timer Finish
long, with a ryeness that's much more pronounced, plus some camphor
