Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very spirity and grainy (it really smells like a grain barn), very yeasty as well. Notes of Indian yoghurt drink (lassi), bold muesli, porridge… Really sweet and sour, in an enjoyable way. Also notes of apple juice, cooked apricots and quite some wood (freshly sawn oak). Hints of fresh strawberries and pears. Very ‘natural’!
restaurant Palate
very sweet and fruity with lots pepper and tannins. Kind of a bitterness, it’s like a mixture of chlorophyll with fruit sweets and bubblegum with a little paraffin and propolis. Doubtlessly interesting, even if very quite close to raw malt. The finish is medium long, a little fruity and quite peppery again. 80 points . Highland Park 21 yo 1984/2005 (54.1%, Glenkeir Treasures, Douglas Laing for The Whisky Shop, 450 bottles)
