Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
some pretty typical, modern high-extraction young malt whisky, a style that's really becoming popular everywhere in Scotland, not just with new-cat distilleries (think Deanston, Glenallachie and many others). Rather a lot of curry, ginger, leather, nutmeg, mercurochrome, tincture of iodine, ointments, CBD muscle balms (yep)… With water: pear eau-de-vie, gin, gentian, tequila, aquavit…
restaurant Palate
very powerful, certainly peaty and obviously very extractive. Bags of pepper and nutmeg, juniper and coriander seeds, bitter oranges, cloves, heavily salted Dutch liquorice (I'm writing Dutch because that's the only one I know)… A feeling of high-strength gin. With water: more aged gin. There's something mysterious in this one, as if there were a few 'secret' things happening between 2020 and 2023
timer Finish
long, with some charcoal, salt, more ginger and gentian, and gin, and salted liquorice. Dutch, as I said
