Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
I don’t know what ‘profoundly’ means but rather less peaty than the Superstition it is – at first nosing that is. We’re rather more on sour cream, porridge, old walnuts, leaves, shoe polish and ink, with a lot of coal smoke after that, diesel oil, tarry rope… Very unusual whisky. Whiffs of antiseptic, bandages, tarmac… Much drier than the Superstition, getting smokier by the minute, now smokier than the Superstition in any case
restaurant Palate
very good attack, very peaty, not unlike all the great young single casks that were issued a few years ago. Some fruits (white peaches, apples) and a very enjoyable greenness (green apples, rhubarb), then quite some pepper and a little mustard. Gets grassier and grassier, very nicely so. Notes of lime and grapefruit playing with your tongue. The middle is a little thinner
timer Finish
a tad narrow but long, on something such as ‘peated green apples and limes’
