Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
well if this is a refill hoggie, the previous content has been grain whisky and it was kept in the cask for only three years, because there’s quite some vanillin left, and all things cellulosic and hemi-cellulosic as well… Having said that, this is no vanilla bomb at all, and I’m rather finding very nice notes of fresh almonds, kelp, hessian, and a lighter kind of smoke. Some brine too, of course. With water: lime, smoky mezcal, and… salt
restaurant Palate
oh excellent! Powerful, very zesty, and yet quite massive, very almondy, lemony, and smoky. We’re having a dozen big fat oysters while smoking a large cigar and drinking Sancerre. How very Parisian. With water: no quibbles, does the job to perfection. Gets quite mentholy
timer Finish
pretty long, a tad round, a tad fat, and very good. Medicinal aftertaste (dentist’s toothpaste)
