Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
a little coarse – or say ‘artisan’, rather pungent, very grassy and very mineral, with in the background, something medicinal (aspirin tablets? Quinine?) and quite some rubbed citron skin. Or lemon oil. It’s an austere one, but I do enjoy this sharp greenness ala Sancerre blanc. With water: chalk and wet fabric all over the place. The chalk is wet as well
restaurant Palate
what an excellent distillate. Superb fresh lemons and limes, always with this grassy minerality (or is it the other way ’round?) and a perfect mouth feel. Even more Sancerre-y, just rather more medicinal than Sancerres. Tart cough syrup. With water: and now it’s even got something Laphroaiggy. Must be the medicinal side
timer Finish
long, very clean and blade-y. More chalk and more lemons, plus some raw barley (crunched while visiting a malting plant)
