Tasting Notes

white wine
air Nose
it seems that it’s one of these rather flinty and mineral Highland Parks that are very ‘natural’ and that display the naked spirit’s typical oily waxiness and grassiness. Wet chalk, green tea and fresh walnuts plus just hints of pine needles. Gets fruitier in a second phase, with notes of freshly cut apples, lemon zests and then just wee whiffs of wood smoke and a little honey. Also funny hints of young fruity Comté cheese (which isn’t quite ‘cheesy’, by the way)
restaurant Palate
excellent body, rich, full and nervous. Peppery, half-grassy, half-fruity, a little minty, not unlike a strong mojito in a certain way. Some ginger and a little lemon plus the same notes of pine resin that give it a slightly medicinal feeling. Very good complexity and balance!
timer Finish
long, with more oak this time. Tannins, tea, nutmeg and quite some pepper in the aftertaste. Enjoyable smokiness
