Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
a distinct change of gear. This one is indeed floral, but we are much more towards smoked dry flowers, heather, sandalwood and many coastal subtleties such as beach driftwood, wet rocks, sand, crushed seashells etc. A much more elegant and controlled affair altogether, also some lovely gentle wisps of peat smoke and wood ashes. With water: grapefruit, citrons, plain smoke and some cereals
restaurant Palate
clean, salty, sharp, citric and with this nice slightly sooty smokiness. They clearly twigged something was definitely not right and changed something - just what the something is we will probably still be debating in the year 2085… With water: smoked muesli! A little creamier in texture, and a rather more emphatic medicinal and peaty side, but generally still nicely clean, crisp and coastal
timer Finish
good length, lightly smoky and coastal and with a nice wee wink of exotic Bowmore fruitiness in the aftertaste
