Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

yeah, and a peater at that! We’re close to some sherried Laphroaigs in style, with an acrid smoke, roasted chestnuts, cloves, cigar smoke, and quite some ginger. With water: more ginger, smoked things, a bag of cinnamon mints. A touch of brine

restaurant Palate

rich but zesty, sharp and ‘coated’ at the same time. Lemons, smoky salt, Seville oranges, then Provence herbs, especially thyme and rosemary. That part makes it a little unusual. With water: becomes gentler, still spicy, Christmassy indeed, and there is a little Schwarzwalder – wasn’t that supposed to be in the Wemyss?

timer Finish

long, salty, rather zestier than the usual smoky sherry monster
