Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine (first great news)

air Nose

bone-dry chenin blanc (yes, chenin noir does exist), hessian, burning ashes on a beach, moderately aromatic Cuban cigars (the names escape me after so many years of not smoking), and, hell, petroly riesling! This is whisky for wine people, apparently. With water: when menthol oil and other aromatic extracts do come in, you’re in for a treat. That’s exactly what’s happening here and now

restaurant Palate

I’m not going to yodel again, am I? The very essence of Bowmore’s distillate, properly aged, not flavoured. There. With water: utterly boring. Couldn’t we have a Liebfraumilch finish instead? Or, there, a triple-mizunara finish? Kazakh oak? Please?

timer Finish

long, and in a way, very simple, which is exactly what we were expecting
