Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
tells us one thing, not all batches were cursed with that infamous ‘FWP’ profile that once spilled oceans of ink and kilobytes across the whisky world. This is clean, fresh, highly briny, with elegant maritime peat, oysters, black rye bread, and… champagne. With water: even more champagne, veering toward Bollinger. Right, pinot noir again, in a way
restaurant Palate
sheer perfection, taut yet oily, earthy and smoky, with a good dose of currants from the sherry, blood oranges and pink grapefruit, all very reminiscent of certain vintages from two decades prior. With water: I must admit, there are a few subtle lavender and violet sweet notes, but we’re mercifully miles away from the old over-the-top disasters of the past
timer Finish
same story, that facet becomes a touch more obvious now, but all remains calm. Yay. Sea water in the aftertaste
