air Nose
this is absolutely incredible! It really smells like a fortified Doriane (Guigal’s most famous Condrieu) and certainly not like whisky. Huge spiciness and quite some muscatty notes. The problem is that there’s also a huge lot of sulphur and even notes of ‘English’ vinegar (the one they serve with fish and chips). A very, very strange winesky. The good news is that these heavy sulphury notes do vanish a bit after a few minutes but their halo effect is so big that it’s still, say ‘unusual’. Bowmore is unrecognisable here
restaurant Palate
once again, the wine is easily detectable in itself (it’s also got something of an Alsatian pinot gris, or even malvasia), and brings some funny notes of game and roasted spices to the whole. Very ripe pineapples. Peat and pepper strike second and third, and the whole starts to work pretty well after a moment, despite some added notes of Comté cheese (or Gouda if you prefer)
