Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
I often find wood smoke in whisky but here, it’s loud. And that would rather be pinewood, in fact, or even cones. Some kind of green lapsang souchong, or smoked Japanese seaweed, then flowers that wouldn’t be completely open (esp. roses), a touch of eucalyptus, a feeling of rye and juniper, caraway, clay… An unusual combination but I wouldn’t say it doesn’t work. With water: grass. Doesn’t swim too well
restaurant Palate
great! It’s fat and oily, curiously fresh, between crème de menthe, Mandarine Napoléon, ginger liqueur and… truckloads of tannins and peaty pepper. The peat never stops growing. With water: yes, it swims well now. It’s not easy to find a point of comparison in Scotland. Sadly, it tends to become dry and greenly bitter. Overinfused green tea. Much more peat in the aftertaste
timer Finish
long, rather astringent
