Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
bingo, it's one of those retro-modern old-school malts, both compact and wide, if you like. Lovely sour cream, the trademark heather honey, elderberries, guavas, fresh wholegrain bread, sauna oil, pinewood smoke, broken branches, sourdough… Retro-modern indeed. With water: more pine-y oils, sauna, teak… I have to say I am a sucker for these aromas. Balsa wood
restaurant Palate
but this is super-good! Excellent citrus (lime and bergamots), tight earthiness, ground nuts, walnut wine, cough syrup… The oak's pretty tight too, but remember this was a firkin and we remain way below the limits (of oaky tightness). With water: excellent swimmer, although it wouldn't change much
timer Finish
long and piney, perhaps a tad woody at this point but just pour yourself another dram a.s.a.p. and you'll be fine
