Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
very pale white wine
air Nose
according to the colour, this is extremely young. The nose is rather on roots, gentian, celeriac, also pears, also sauna oils, also beach sand. Rather intriguing but water may change all this. With water: not really, well it got much earthier. White earth, very calcareous. After some heavy rains
restaurant Palate
this is white indeed, as white rum is white, as blanche d'Armagnac is white, and as tequila blanco is white. So we're extremely close to the 'new make' and I cannot be against that, at least as an experiment. It is an awesome distillate, with peaches rather than pears (a good sign) and a very medical peat. Indeed, medical rather than medicinal. With water: eau-de-vie de peated barley with oysters and a touch of dill. I'm reminded of wild carrot tops
timer Finish
long, clean, earthy, eau-de-vie-ish. Celeriac eau-de-vie; indeed that exists, we make some in Alsace, it's brilliant on smoked salmon
