Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

extremely austere, mineral, not even very briny. A huge pile of wet rocks and empty oyster shells, then just wee whiffs of diesel oil and old coal heap. Then just a little grass, cider apples… In short, a Jansenist of a whisky

restaurant Palate

good attack, quite big, sooty, smoky and saltier, but it’ll soon drop and lose steam, most probably because of the low ABV. Touches of tangerines, pepper and then more brine. As often, becomes bigger again after a few seconds in your mouth, with the pepper and the salt talking more

timer Finish

short but clean, despite some sweet notes that remind us of 1980s distillation, but they’re very shy
