Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
more discrete than the three previous ones, kind of restrained, less emphatic but maybe even more complex behind the scenes. The smokiness gets bigger after a few seconds, the minerality as well, a faint meatiness (Jabugo). A wee dustiness (flour). With water: more chalky/dusty notes and even something slightly metallic, almost assets to the whisky in fact. On the other hand, there are also wonderful whiffs of moss, wild carrots, dill and fir honey (or honeydew)
restaurant Palate
punchy but very complex right from the start, with everything that was in the others but also added notes of fresh mushrooms, herbs and something very funny that the trendy chefs over here tend to add to any dish just now: borage flowers. Ha, fashion cooking! With water: oh, a copy of the 1973! How did they do that twennyone years ago?
timer Finish
perfect. As often, +/-20 years in wood plus +/-20 years in glass make for perfect malts
