Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
as expected, this one is more a brute, more an islander than his low-strength bros. It’s much more on wet rocks, garden bonfire, fresh walnuts, kelp, rubbed lemon skin… Gets then even grassier and a tad spirity. Rougher indeed. With water: not much development I’m afraid. It gets even grassier and just a tad coffee-ish. Hints of bubblegum as well. Oh, and bacon… Strange combo
restaurant Palate
rough and perfumy attack, with notes of newmake that aren’t too… well, nice. Very spirity and without any finesse, but water will (should!) help this time. With water: creamier and much, much maltier and meatier, with something reminiscent of Mortlach. Beef jerky, dried oranges, gin fizz and honey. These are the best moments
timer Finish
rather long, still not quite tamed and civilised but the profile is acceptable. Peppered orange marmalade
