yeedla-yodla-yeeeh… This is almost un-noseable, even when you try to use the well-know ‘short-wee-sniffs’ tactics. It would just climb up your nostrils, annihilate your olfactory bulb and then assault your brain. Well, I do get a little brine in fact… And tankers of nail polish remover. Ah well… With water (after having waited for fifteen minutes, because adding a good third of water to a whisky shakes the molecules too much): fantastic! Touches of tropical fruits ‘from the 1960s’ and an astounding combination of pine cone smoke, oysters, camphor and hessian. Stunning

sipping this might be the equivalent of doing some bungee jumping in Northern Afghanistan. Risky. I seem to get some salty grapefruit though, but frankly, it’s too strong. With water: perfection made whisky. It’s not complex, nor is it wide, but this ‘narrowness’ is an asset in this context. Passion fruits chutney on Asian-style smoked oysters, with just a little olive oil. Yay!
timer Finish
very long, smokier, ashier, sootier. Grapefruits and fresh coriander in the aftertaste
