Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
well, indeed this is more floral than the others. It’s more mineral as well, which gives it a flinty side. And there’s a lot of raw malted barley again. And oranges. Maybe a little soap as well, but maybe is that the high strength, let’s see. With water: orangeade and barley water. It’s rather fresh. A pack of orange drops
restaurant Palate
rather strange… Fizzy orange juice (so we’re close to the Wemyss in that respect) plus some kind of lavender-flavoured liquorice. Or rather violet. We had such a thing in France, that was called ‘Zan à la violette’. With water: ham? Really bizarre… And bitter oranges. Not too sure this baby takes water very well
timer Finish
some kind of gin and orange. Cinchona in the aftertaste
