Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it's pretty noseable at such high strength, and even if it's obviously very young, the crisp fruitiness is quite beautiful. We have some tinned pineapples, then not too ripe melons, apples, pears, gooseberries and finally a nice layer of cut grass and wee touches of seaweed. Also a little coffee but that may come from the very high strength. With water: it seems that the current owners' distillation is fatter and bigger than the previous ones', as far as I can tell from this 'natural' cask. Some aspects remind me a bit of Springbank, with some oily 'things', something slightly phenolic, rocks, wax, linseed oil... Interesting for the future!
restaurant Palate
an explosive fruitiness but this is too strong for this poor taster. With water: there is some peat now, lemon, spices, coriander
timer Finish
long, fat yet vibrant, very zesty in the aftertaste. Faint earthiness, which is perfect here
