Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
it’s a bit the Select at cask strength, really. Perhaps a little more medicinal and mineral? More mercurochrome? It’s not quite a nosing whisky, having said that, so quick… With water: not the Select. More antiseptic, mercurochrome, kelp, old woollen jackets, kiln aromas… That’s all nice, I have to say, simple and pure. Were the quarter casks (which are half the size by the way, not quarters) refill?
restaurant Palate
yes, the Select at cask strength, only with more lemons and grapefruits, and more white pepper, perhaps. With water: this time, we’ve almost recreated the Select. Simple, with some sweetness, lapsang souchong, and a lot of white pepper from the oak
timer Finish
rather long, but drying, with a feeling of sawdust and more lapsang. Some sugar syrup in the aftertaste
