it’s one of these ‘wine-whiskies’. I’m not suggesting there’s wine inside, not at all, but it’s one of these whiskies that are as complex as an old Grand Cru from a great vintage. Sure I could try to build a list, but that would be pointless. There’s also the kind of old rancio that’s to be found in great old cognacs, there’s some olive oil, there’s some old balsamic vinegar, there are cigars, old Pu-erh tea, ‘opening an old wardrobe in grandma’s attic after fifty years’, old books, Al Capone’s pistol (c’mon!)… Maybe even drops of Worcester sauce. The only little downside is that it’s a little shy or fragile. Right, shy-ish. The palate will tell…

okay, it’s very good, but maybe not totally excellent. The peat is almost gone, and it’s unexpectedly round and jammy. I even find strawberry and raspberry jams, and yet it’s no Beaujolais Nouveau, is it? Having said that, the peat manages to come through after a few seconds, but the jammy side remains there. A little too sweet, I’d say. There’s also a cardboardy side

pretty long, but there’s always this jam. Strawberry jam with black pepper and a little dark honey
