Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

stones, rocks, chalk, grasses, mint, camphor... then butter, sylvaner, asparagus peel, mashed potatoes and turnips, lovage… To be honest, I’m not sure I ever found this much lovage in the nose of any whisky. With water: earth, mud, old musty cellar, more turnips. Beets and even cabbage

restaurant Palate

ah, yes! Citrus, tartes, angelica, some earthy/lemony roots (the name escapes me), agaves, then lovage again, with touches of rosemary. I think this is relatively beautiful. With water: ouch, it does not like my Vittel on the palate. Gets a little metallic (in the wrong way), even if the citrus behave admirably

timer Finish

medium, lemony and peppery, but with a little sour wood, especially in the aftertaste. Not the nicest part
