Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
let us not deny that this nose strikes fast and hard, compact and immensely medicinal and smoky, which cannot fail to delight us. Quite a bit of charcoal smoke and firwood ash. With water: almost feels like peated malt trying to mimic Laphroaig, as we do find the usual suspects front and centre, iodine, ash, cough syrup, smoke, firwood
restaurant Palate
ultra-massive. No room for finesse here, especially with that heavy oak presence, though it all works rather well in this beefy style, which could very well pair with surströmming. Well, I suppose so, never having tried it (please don’t). With water: a rather massive, lemony and resinous woodiness takes over proceedings
timer Finish
very long, now saltier still. The proverbial kippers!
