Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
Laphroaig and sherry, even in small doses, often spark fireworks, though here it’s all very restrained. Just a touch of flint to start, then those smoky, salty citrus fruits of great beauty. Followed by herbed breads, caraway, aniseed, poppy seeds, altogether rather lovely. With water: classic, chalk, Islay earth, virgin wool (Islay-sourced as well, naturally), bread dough…
restaurant Palate
tight, very lemony, earthy and above all stuffed with menthol and other molecules of the same ilk. Verbena and a faint note of pencil lead. With water: everything melts together into a joyous maelstrom of salty and peaty notes, with citrus taking up its post at the watchtower
timer Finish
long, nicely candied, with an ultra-classic aftertaste by now. Pepper and shoe polish
