Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

this is obviously very distillate-forward and, once again, I cannot not think of some high-end very smoky mezcal blanco. Or gentian and almond oil... The wood has already filtered out the naughty components but the spirit remained beautifully naked. And what spirit it is! 'A walk on the beach on Islay while someone is burning seaweed'. With water: it's the mercurochrome that comes out more. These noses make you anti-septic ;-)

restaurant Palate

same plus plenty of lemon and bandages. Wonderful green/blue tea (best wu-long?) and just touches of kiwi and grapefruit. With water: a little more sweetness. Lemon honey?

timer Finish

long, saltier again, still sweet, citrusy, coastal, medicinal, smoky... Yes, Laphroaiggy
