Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
somewhere between the Whisky Fair and the James MacArthur. Hints of muscovado sugar, vanilla, a little antiseptic... With water: same 'close to the barley' feeling as with the James MacArthur, although this is a tad rounder and more vanilled. More coastal notes as well, sea breeze
restaurant Palate
the roundest and the sweetest so far, but it's very peaty as well - and certainly no round and sweet whisky (are you sure you're all right, S.?). Custard, a little honey, soot, ashes, tar and lemon liqueur. Slightly earthy too. With water: gets a little simpler, maybe a little too candied and vanilled? It's as if water had lowered the Laphroaigness - so to speak. But excellent it remains
timer Finish
long, with more pepper this time, and even chillies
