Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

ah, rather one of those slightly acetic ones at first nosing, between almond milk, lemon juice and indeed white vinegar (a droplet, really). That works very well I have to say. Also green apples, then the usual fresh walnuts and carbon paper, engine oil, brand new woollen sweater, a little camphor, a touch of olive, some leather polish... It’s one of those whiskies that seem to be pretty simple and easy when you first nose them, and that would never stop evolving and getting more complex. There, whelks, new books, clams, hessian

restaurant Palate

there’s an Ardbegness in this arrival, trust me. A tarry/petroly side, some old fisherman’s nets, then some more regular kind of smoky fudge, salted caramel, oysters, and the obligatory kippers. Very good, as expected

timer Finish

long, with a little green tea, ginger, green tannins, salted lemon juice... The signature’s a tad sweeter again, with a little lemon tarte (with meringue, naturally)
