Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine. The palest ex-butt whisky I’ve even seen, really
air Nose
it’s a very brine-y one, it starts sharp like a Japanese blade, it’s full of Atlantic water, it’s got a little fennel (seeds), hints of pastis, smoked trout, thin slices of green apple, the usual oysters, and, well, sushi. Really, sushi. I insist, sushi. Why aren’t our friends the Japanese rather making this kind?
restaurant Palate
perfect, millimetric, starting just a tad hot and spirity, but getting in line, with some sharp(ish) lemony smoke, some petroly riesling (I know a few good houses), and certainly a lot of lime. Perhaps some thin chocolate coating around that lime, as they would do in Paris when they’re not too busy. Also a pinch of freshly chopped basil. Strength and body are perfect
timer Finish
medium, perfectly coastal, with oysters and, in the aftertaste, the thinnest bit of chocolate crisp ever
