Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
oh a funny sucrosity at very first sniffs, perhaps even hints of strawberry cream, but let's remember that may come with peat. Sometimes, when you're wandering around Port Ellen Maltings (we all do that, don't we), you do smell strawberry yoghurt. I have been told by some high-ranked officials that that was normal! In any case, this one's actually rather on smoked tea (lapsang), fern and moss, perhaps even pu-her, and just earth and beach sand. This baby keeps you waiting… With water: ha, those new electronics, plastic bags, brake pads and shoe polish! Plus green bananas at the fruit and vegetable department
restaurant Palate
pungent, lemony, austere, ultra-grassy, tarry, salty, really not easy. Very oily mouthfeel, in truth this is almost oil that's been burning for a few seconds in your frying pan. With water: a lot of spearmint now. That's lovely
timer Finish
very long, tight and indeed vertical. The tarriness gets bigger again, and even the aftertaste remains a little grassy and challenging, on green walnuts and their skins. Almonds too
