Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it remained Highland-Parky, in this case pretty mineral and even medicinal. Chalk and oyster shells for a good while, and only then rather acacia blossom, maple syrup, various honeys and just some fresh croissants. Oh how we’re missing fresh croissants these days, deep frozen ones being so bad! With water: whiffs of bicycle inner tube, scuba diving suit, and just bread. Touches of grassy smoke
restaurant Palate
the octave’s spices hit you first, with a lot of pepper, ginger and nutmeg in the arrival. Gets then cakier (cinnamon rolls) and a tad softer, with a distillate that doesn’t quite seem to manage to keep its head above water. I mean, above the oak. With water now: still oak spices playing first strings, but we hear a little more from the spirit. A smoky and chalky saltiness, apparently
timer Finish
rather long, still spicy. A little tar in the aftertaste
