white wine
air Nose
we’re wandering throughout a working kiln! Not at Bunnahabhain of course, but these whiffs of smoked bacon, kippers and barley are just spectacular. It’s great to be able to try these earlier batches of ‘Moine’ after more than 25 years of ageing. They seem to be doing very fine! But the smoke tends to dissipate, and to leave room for lime, gooseberries, greengages and… well, anything fruity and green. As you say, kiwis
restaurant Palate
oh yes, this is interesting. We’re having a grassy peat, in a style that I’ve never quite encountered before. There’s something buttery, definitely ‘fishy’ (smoked salmon), with a layer of salty vegetables, maybe capers, maybe samphires or glasswort. Yes, google is your friend
timer Finish
relatively long, with a feeling of ‘old muted peat’ that you would get from an old Black Label by Cadenhead, if you see what I mean. I mean, a Laphroaig or an Ardbeg (more about those very soon, stay tuned!)
