air Nose
this is much younger and much more spirity than the Celtic Heartlands, more austere, much grassier... A bit hard and closed I must say, let’s try to wake it up using a little water... With water: it got much grassier, oakier, almost animal (wet Canidae – hehe) and then beautifully oily (linseed) and waxy. Wet chalk. Complex malt but you have to give it time
restaurant Palate
ho-ho, yes, we’re much more in line with the Celtic Heartlands now, with again this big ‘citrusity’ (more bitter lemons here) but also more spices. Szechwan pepper (that’s no pepper as such, I’ve been told by an expert from the Isle of Islay), dried ginger, coriander... Then lemon pie and cinchona. Very good without water this time. Still, with water: more of the same, with added toffeeish and candied notes as well as a little salt. Excellent
timer Finish
long, ‘focused’, on crystallised oranges, ginger and lemon drops
