Tasting Notes

Colour

Pale white wine

air Nose

absolute purity of style, showcasing the grandeur of a fine old hogshead. Furniture polish, lemon zest, fresh barley, a touch of ash, a couple of apples, and even a tiny whelk—et voilà. With water: similar, though perhaps with a bit more apple

restaurant Palate

that lightly waxy and earthy Highland Park fruitiness, but here with a fizzy edge, almost like an old champagne. I’ve no idea where that comes from, but it’s spectacular. With water: still fizzy but now slightly richer, with a faint touch of smoke, more lemon, and hints of verbena and wormwood

timer Finish

long, still kind of fizzy, now reminiscent of old cider, with pepper and ashes lingering
