Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
it’s strange. It’s got this mixture of dried herbs, tobacco, leather, game, brine and peat that screams ‘1980s Bowmore’ but without any hints of ‘chemical lavender and violet’. It goes even deeper into that direction after a while, with notes of ‘heavy’ pipe juice, very old burgundy wine (or civet), new pack of salmiak and these whiffs of geraniums as they can appear in wine (it’s not quite the flowers, rather rubbed leaves and stems). Old bag of nails. Frankly, I don’t know what to think yet. Let’s add a few drops of water… With water: works well, it’s rather cleaner. Yes, clean cow stable. Soot
restaurant Palate
quite spectacular, heavily concentrated, sour and very leafy. Balsamico, black olives, green tea, tinned anchovies, green apples, marmalade, beef jerky… With water: more on black tea (Russian, heavy)
timer Finish
long, between olive oil, kippers and cocoa. Sootier in the finish
