Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
my my, this is very unusual. Amazingly vanilla-ed and caramelly, with just a little peat smoke. Chewy toffee, Werther’s Originals… Any coastal and medicinal notes that should be hidden there just don’t seem to manage to break this funny caramel barrier, but it’s all nice. With water: it all got even more caramelly. A double-pack of Werther’s
restaurant Palate
much less caramel but a lot of vanilla and coconut that suggest some very active American wood (despite the very pale colour). We’re actually quite close to the famous official Quarter Cask, if that rings a bell. Modern style Laphroaig. With water: a smoky pina colada? Funny dram, funny variant. Also lemon and apple juice 50/50
timer Finish
medium long, with more salt again. Always quite some vanilla and a feeling of tea with milk (which we never, ever do here, esp. since it seems that milks wrecks the health benefits of tea – yeah, and those of whisky ;-))
