Tasting Notes
Colour
dark red amber
air Nose
Bowmore? Could be Craigellachie, Scapa or Dalwhinnie, such is the oak’s impact. Pencil shavings, cedar wood, cigars, thuja, black tea, tar liqueur, new tyres, fino sherry. The wood’s in charge so far. Very terpenic, I’d say. With water: even more of all that. Partagas cigars macerated in unreduced gentian eau-de-vie. Just to give you an idea…
restaurant Palate
what a thick monster! All the Van Winkles would feel naked in comparison, this is extremely extractive, and it even gets bitter and very clove-y. Concentrated bitter oranges. Very, very extreme stuff. With water: you have to get it down to +/-30% vol. to make it approachable, and even then, it still roars like a tiger. Did they cook it or something, up there in Campbeltown?
timer Finish
extremely long, even the Meistersinger feel shorter than this
