Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

this one’s sweeter, apparently, rounder, more candied, with some butter cream and even drops of limoncello. It’s a bit in the style of the ‘Highland’ Caol Ilas, so far, although it dos start to become ashier and brinier after fifteen seconds. Let’s see what happens once water’s been added: gets chalkier and, once again, more medicinal. Shall I mention Vicks Vaporub once again?

restaurant Palate

it is very citrusy. This is cold-concentrated Muscadet. Grapefruit jam and salty smoked cider apples. It’s a little simple, perhaps, but otherwise totally flawless. With water: really lemony and even tangerine-y, with a touch of white sugar

timer Finish

long and unusually sweet. More sugar than smoke, so once again, a tad in the style of Diageo’s ‘Unpeated’
