Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw/light gold
air Nose
more on garden fruits, barley, dandelions, a small handful of sultanas, chalk, cement, candle wax, then grapefruit… This baby is noticeably more discreet than the previous ones, more restrained, perhaps more ‘well-mannered’, if that expression still means anything these days. With water: classic Islay, raw wool, Islay mud, and sliced white bread from the Bowmore SPAR (sadly closed now, I’ve learned! Apparently, it’s a Co-op these days, but I’m clearly behind the times)
restaurant Palate
big bang on citrus and peppers, then coffee (must be the butt) and almost-burnt walnuts. A rather unexpected hint of youthful eau-de-vie. Eau-de-vie distilled by the ocean, of course. With water: just perfect, very saline. Loads of brine
timer Finish
long, peppery, with an ever-present brininess
