Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

this one’s got more leather and tobacco, as well as a little more rubber, most probably from the sherry. On the other hand, it’s one of these HPs that are going towards Springbank, with these medicinal and mineral touches that are bordering plastic and plasticine – and which I enjoy a lot. Also grapefruit skin, seawater and kelp, heather honey (grassier honey), a drop of gasoline, and perhaps one of brake fluid

restaurant Palate

it’s big, it’s tense, it’s very mineral and waxy, coastal, rooty (ginseng), spicy (turmeric, nutmeg), and rather salty. All that’s coated with proper honey and lemon juice, which is excellent

timer Finish

rather long, and even more Springbanky. It’s well Springbank that we just had, is it not? Funny touches of sea salt playing with your lips
