air Nose
I know I’m not the only one who often thinks that Port Charlotte is peatier than Octomore ‘in the glass’, and indeed this is not extravagantly smoky, but I do really enjoy these whiffs of gun oil, new rubber boots, and coal ashes. Pine cone smoke, fresh putty, Chinese general store in the 1980s (a very personal feeling)… With water: raw barley and a working kiln
restaurant Palate
very good, if rather simple. Heavily smoked williams pear eau-de-vie, one tiny tinned anchovie, some kippers. This one’s much more coastal than the Lochindaal, not sure that’s related to where the cask was stored, having said that. With water: really very good now. A fatter, almost salmony smokiness, plus some lemons. One tiny pineapple slice
timer Finish
long, really clean, zesty, really good
