Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
ouch! This is punchy, spirity and immensely smoky, almost aggressive at first nosing. What’s just as spectacular is the way it calms down after a few seconds, becoming kind of smoother, delicately smoky, moderately briny and just a tad medicinal. Okay, I’m exaggerating but it seems smoother – at least less monstrous - than previous batches. Let’s try it with water… With water: a plate of oysters. A huge plate of oysters
restaurant Palate
ah yes, as usual, it’s a compact profile. Simple but very perfect, on only three main flavours: brine, peat smoke and vanilla. Maybe that’s not much, but the balance is absolutely perfect. With water: as usual, becomes creamier, with the oak’s sweetness coming more to the front. The peat got bigger too
timer Finish
long, rather more medicinal this time, and very, very briny. Quite some lemon in the aftertaste
