Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a profile that immediately creates cognitive dissonance. It's such an utterly singular, almost monstrously individualistic profile. And, yet, beneath that it's also extremely complex and detailed in a way that, as with all these truly legendary whiskies, is nigh on impossible to describe or capture in a mere note. I'd simply say it is hypnotically and immensely maritime, in a way that's extraordinarily evocative and powerful. This is bound up with pristinely sharp and bright exotic fruits, then endless combinations of waxes, minerals, stones and medicines. It's really the sense of vividness, life, brightness and power that you come away with, above listing mere aromas. With water: the same but, perhaps, if it's even possible, with more cohesion and intensity, while also simultaneously managing to become broader and even more complex. Accordingly, the cognitive dissonance goes up several notches as well
restaurant Palate
so good it kind of makes you put your head in your hands and chuckle. Astonishing and intense salinity matched by exotic fruit acids, mineral oils, salts, pure waxiness, mechanical elements, all manner of medicines, ointments, bouillon stock, marrow, citrus rinds - everything, all at once! With water: perfect, everything in balance, intensely powerful and charismatic, while also harmonious, elegant and still persisting in this kind of granular, fruity, waxy and medicinal detail that is little short of breathtaking
timer Finish
extremely long and pretty much perfect
