Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

oh well, this is even sharper and narrow when nosed ‘naked’. Lime juice and five dozen oysters. Manages to develop a bit, mainly on heavily medicinal notes. Embrocations, mercurochrome again, iodine… Gets just a tad rounder once your nose got used to it (apple juice). With water: not a lot of development, it stays very medicinal and rather flinty as well. Medium-peaty

restaurant Palate

a big beast, heavily phenolic, oily, very almondy and ‘walnutty’, slightly bitterish but much less so than the Whisky Cask. Lemon-flavoured marzipan. With water: same. A little more on tar and hard liquorice

timer Finish

long, tarry, slightly ‘burnt’ and bitterish
