Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
some kind of smoky brine. It’s the vibrancy and the insane freshness that are impressive. Some kind of aged precious balm, perhaps. Olives, camphor, samphires, seawater, more seawater, even more seawater… And many tiny herbs, dill for sure, sage, parsley… So it’s globally vegetal, wonderfully so
restaurant Palate
oh the freshness! Totally salty, coastal of course, with a yet unknown combination of honey and seawater. Salty honeys, grapefruit juice, funny hints of tequila… Now I’m wondering, couldn’t this make for the rarest margarita ever? And the body’s totally impressive. Please call our favourite brigade before it’s too late, thank you!
timer Finish
very long, still honeyed, salty, seaweedy, and above everything, with only the slightest hint of old bottle effect. In truth this could have been bottled yesterday. Love the mandarins in the aftertaste, this is so old-Laphroaig!
