Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

a little blocked by the high alcohol. Whiffs of sawdust? With water: ah, it's the closest to raw peated barley so far. I must say I like that, it smells just like when you're touring the distillery

restaurant Palate

a rather fruitier version (when compared with the Whisky Fair), with notes of cherries and apples and rather less kippery notes. Still, it's very briny and smoky. With water: more soot and ashes and brine and smoke but the cherry-like fruitiness never really goes away

timer Finish

quite long, with earthy and rooty tones. Gentian
