Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very, very different this time. Much less smoky, starting on some heavy notes of olive oil (ultra-heavy olive oil!), getting then very mineral (flint), developing on ashes, burnt wood, grass… Then we do have the typical peat smoke, but it’s less demonstrative, let’s say like some Bowmores. Did the Speysider tone down the peat? Anyway, the good news is that the end result is very nicely balanced and rather elegant, with an unexpected ‘austerity’. No sign of ‘roundness’ whatsoever
restaurant Palate
we’re in the same territories as with the ‘ZDF’ now, the whisky being very similar. Maybe a little grassier, punchier, sharper and spicier (and less resinous) but otherwise we have almost the same malt here. Very, very good! Again, I couldn’t get what the ex-cask’s influence was, it was probably ‘there’, but it’s another 88 points malt in my book. MUSIC – Recommended listening - Clem Snide member Eef Barzelay sings a very good, I think, Ballad of Bitter Honey.mp3 . Please buy his (and his band's) music!
