Tasting Notes
Colour
amber. Say even profound amber
air Nose
whoops, it's a peater, one of the early 'Moines' the great folks at the distillery were so proud of when we were visiting them back in the days. Well some were proud; others were a bit apologetic. Peat was like doing finishings back then, it was meaning 'running after the market' rather than 'doing what we're best at'. But no one thinks like that anymore, there's no longer any pride, only the market, and therefore the marketers, are right. Except that the market is changing increasingly quickly, but that's another matter. Tja, in any case, this is cough syrup aged in oak and it is bone dry. Pinewood smoke and the bitterest chocolate. With water: menthol and chartreuse, plus tar liqueur

but this is very good! Totally on smoky cough syrup, with loads of eucalyptus and pinewood smoke. With water: someone's aged crème de menthe in pinewood. Then added a few spoonfuls of fir honeydew and rubber process oil. Granted, we do not drink rubber process oil every day
timer Finish
long and very piney
