Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
bath salts, citrus rinds, sea air and beach pebbles with only fain hints of very brittle, dry peat smoke and a sense of freshly starched laundry. With time some feelings of lavender do begin to emerge which feels like Deacon 3 1980s Bowmore. With water: hand cream, seawater and an undeniable, fragile soapiness
restaurant Palate
ok, we're immediately at Defcon 2 now, this is getting more towards violets but without straying into excessive or pure 'soap'. There's also soft notes of tarred rope, seawater, pickling brine and a nicely sooty peatiness. Feels like two whiskies grappling for dominance. With water: feels pretty comfortably in 1980s Bowmore territory now: violets: check! Lavender: check! Hand soaps from old Scottish B&Bs: check!
timer Finish
medium and with a surprisingly nice and rather fresh, dry smokiness in the aftertaste
