Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
I don’t know in which month this was distilled (Jack, if you’re reading this...) but it’s much more pleasant on the nose. More complex, with very nice notes of dried oranges and kumquats (something that reminds me of some Bowmores distilled in the early 1970’s), wet wool, wet stones, humus... Medium-smoky but very clean. No ‘FWP’ whatsoever and probably a more active cask. With water: here comes our friend the wet dog. And more raw wool, porridge, farmyard... Less citrusy notes
restaurant Palate
good attack on citrus again (more grapefruits) and something very grassy. Sharp! Quite some tannins. Lemon juice. With water: gets slightly soapy (some say ‘Schweppesy’) now but that’s okay. Crystallised lemons
timer Finish
medium long, saltier
