Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
starts fruitier than usual, with smoked pears or something like that. It’s no heavy Laphroaig so far. It isn’t very medicinal either, so a rather delicate one – sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? A little vanilla, oysters… With water: some more brine and something I like in some clean peaters: olive oil. Other oils too, linseed, sunflower… No more pears, rather lemons. Very narrow (narrowness is only pleasant in this kind of ‘flavour context’, I think) and very citrusy. That’s what I call a very nervous dram. In the background, some salt and smoke as usual. With water: crystal-clean yet smokier. Liquorice and tar
timer Finish
medium length, very tarry but mellower. Touches of candy sugar in the aftertaste, then ashes
