Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
this confirms what we were already feeling, there’s more peat smoke in these batches from 15 to 20 years ago. It’s a grassy peatiness, with leaves and buds and stems, which works well with the bitter oranges in the background. But it’s quite austere – so far. With water: whenever I get wet chalk from my whisky, I’m happy. So, I’m happy
restaurant Palate
most certainly not a Port cask, but we’re really unexpectedly close to the Fire Edition. Blood oranges, nutmeg, and a very spicy smokiness. Some acridness. With water: excellent. Citrons, blood oranges, a mentholated side, some peppermint, maize bread… It does love water
timer Finish
medium, superbly zesty. More blood oranges, in other words. A feeling of verbena, or there, vetiver
