air Nose
noh, this ain’t possible. This not can exist (how do you like my Italian?) this outta this world, this like the drink of the Olympus. It’s a sin, it’s poetry, it’s not whisky. I mean, imagine they just took some barley, brewed it, distilled it and let it mature in second-hand wine barrels and… they came up with this? This was originally only an agricultural by-product, for crying out loud! Life is unjust. Good, as far as aromas are concerned, I seem to get hundreds but since we’re having a crisis all over Europe, I’ll only quote five. Say almond oil, say old car (engine), say Havana cigars, say sandalwood and say heather honey (HP, you owe me a dram)
restaurant Palate
you have to close your eyes to get everything here. What’s impressive at first sips, like in all truly great whiskies, is the power. This is low in alcohol but it’s jam-packed with flavours! I guess you already called the anti-maltoporn brigade – and you did well - so I will only list five main flavours… Say the best green tea, say bitter almonds, say salted liquorice, say chewing tobacco and say cough lozenges. I’m sorry, a lot are missing…
timer Finish
right, it’s not as long as a day without whisky (mum, I’m joking) but the oaky impact is huge. Having said that, it’s so immensely complex that any amount of oak would be no problems. Stunning soft spices
