Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
ermnlmblrmln… Wazzat? It’s not that it’s ugly, mind you, but strange it is. Gin fizz, orange tonic, lemongrass and ginger liqueur, heavily peppered melon, smoked beef, effervescent vitamin C… Then ham and bacon… Not unpleasant I must say, especially since these fizzy notes do slowly vanish and leave more room for the ‘raw, naked’ spirit
restaurant Palate
well, this works, at least for the first five seconds, but there’s something a little, say twisted happening after that. Peppered lemon juice? Spiced-up cranberry juice? The same notes of ripe melons develop on the palate, even very ripe apricots and plums, with Ardbeg’s smokiness creating kind of a… third dimension?
timer Finish
medium long, first creamily fruity and then a tad grassy and bitterish, with a little caramel and honey in the aftertaste
