Tasting Notes

Colour

full amber

air Nose

Jesus! One of the most stunning mix of all kinds of chocolates, all kinds of smokes, all kinds of dried herbs, all kinds of dried fruits and all kinds of, well, all the rest. There’s only one kind of fruit, that is (apart from dried ones) and it’s oranges. Squeezed, crystallised, dried, in liqueurs, in food… And let’s not forget all what’s beautifully meaty and animal. This whisky is pure magic and guess what, we won’t even dare to add water to it, in spite of its high ABV. A matter of respect…

restaurant Palate

what can we say? One of the rare whiskies that display both a wonderful complexity (it’s got everything, really) and a kind of ‘coherence’. Does ‘compact and multidimensional’ make any sense?

timer Finish

extremely long, back on all forms of oranges, with a peaty/spicy signature (cloves.)
