Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
probably the most vegetal and earthy within the lot, also the sweetest even if it’s far from being sweet whisky. Some candy sugar, soot, smoked tea… With water: gets unexpectedly dirty, animal and slightly sulphury (hard boiled eggs). Not that it’s flawed, not at all, but you have to like what we call ‘civet’ notes (or ‘old nun who neglects herself’ – yes that’s a true expression we sometimes use in wine tasting in France… not officially that is). Gets then a little more ‘normal’
restaurant Palate
it’s the strongest but quite curiously, it’s also the easiest. A little rounder than the others, a bit more candied or so it seems, a little more leathery and spicy, with smoked pears… Hard to tell you much more, I’ll need my palate tonight. With water: nice notes of oranges, tar and salt! I remember the distillery once had an official 1989 that was rather similar in style, I think it was for Feis Ile
timer Finish
long, clean, peaty, orangey, peppery and salty
