Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

the double oak (was it double cask?) only with more depth, nuts, spices, stuff from the woods, mosses, teas, mushrooms, mint… With water: okay. Walnut stain, plywood, MDM, more Ikea, a little shoe polish. That's nicer

restaurant Palate

rather hot, but really spicy, with a lot of oak influence. Nothing wrong with that of course, but the distillate is of no importance whatsoever here and I'd swear you could make this anywhere in this world, from Tasmania to Nova Scotia. Where's the Scotchness? With water: same feelings. Bitter oranges, oak spices, kirsch

timer Finish

rather long, eau-de-vie-ish beyond the fresh oak
