Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
there’s more soot in these 1997 batches, more coal, more ashes and even traces of clean wet dogs now that they’ve reached 15 years (the whisky, not the dogs – and I’m sorry, dogs). Having said that, this one becomes more and more lemony after a few minutes, and these are lemons in all their possible forms (marmalade, juice, candied, whatever). Hints of raw wool as well. Very nice nose
restaurant Palate
starts extremely gentiany – and I know some friends hate that but I for one am a sucker for gentian. Goes on with a lot of salt, some vanilla, some bitter herbs and then some rather drying ashes. ‘licking an ashtray’
timer Finish
the lemons are back but otherwise we’re fully on peaty, salty and ashy gentian spirit
