Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine/pale straw

air Nose

starts a bit in the style of the Aberlour but with more definition and elegance. It’s fairly ‘naked’, or ‘natural’ spirit, without much wood influence (first fill, really?) but these notes of peaches, plum skin, then fresh walnuts and lamp oil are very nice. I quite like this ‘restrained’ style. It’s also relatively grassy. With water: more of the same plus limestone, clay, wee notes of bandages… And more apple juice

restaurant Palate

much, much fruitier now, without being extravagant. Ripe apples, melons (here they come), oranges and then a wee saltiness that plays with the tip of your tongue. Good body. With water: becomes wider, with a little more vanilla, touches of kumquats and just hints of agave, as if someone had added one or two drops of tequila. I think this is excellent, this baby swims like a champ – which isn’t always the case with coastal distilleries ;-)

timer Finish

quite long, very balanced
