Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

no peat bomb, rather many tobaccos and dried fruits at first, Virginia, figs… Also some camphor, eucalyptus, thin mints, drops of sour soup, miso, then a little patchouli, old wardrobe, perhaps even one or two small mothballs… This really is a lovely, rather complex nose, and yet another impressive Kavalan. With water: rubbed mint leaves, bandages, various embrocations and balms, Wulong tea (Taiwanese, naturally)…

restaurant Palate

more peat for sure, plus massive amounts of grapefruit juice, fresh coriander, and an unexpected margarita-y side. That’s right, tequila. Green pepper. With water: leafier. A touch of aniseed as well, leaves, seeds… The grapefruits are still there, but there’s also a little cranberry juice

timer Finish

medium to long, mentholy, citrusy
