Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
Sherry takes centre stage, amidst walnut cake and toasted notes, even basaltic ones. Black tea, a touch of menthol, roasted almonds, pine sap, butterscotch... I'm not sure the original distillate has much to say in this story, but on the other hand, it was a superb cask. With water: notes of fresh cement, slightly sulphurous. Brake dust. Nothing to complain about, I quite like it when it stays in these very moderate proportions, you could almost believe it came from the distillate (but it's not Mortlach)
restaurant Palate
a nutty flavour, lots of nuts, mustard sauce, bitter almonds, green pepper, even a sulphurous side indeed (again, no problem at all)... With water: goodbye sulphurous side, we're left with citrus and more nuts
timer Finish
long, almost entirely on nuts, roasted almonds, pecans
