Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

it’s not that different from the Kildalton, just a little more ‘violent’, a notch more estery (with or without the purifier on then?) and a little more medicinal, somewhat ala Laphroaig. Antiseptic. Wait, wasn’t the Laphroaig crew running Ardbeg at the time?

restaurant Palate

maybe not a fab Ardbeg either, but this is cleaner, straighter, sharper, more lively. I especially like these notes of marzipan and lemon marmalade, while the smokiness remains… a little soft. Some pepper, a little tar, a little lemon

timer Finish

good length. Smoked almond and lemon cordial. I’m sure the very creative Italian liqueurists do have such a drink ;-)
