Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
I like it! Pine resin on a hot August afternoon, teak oil, various paints and coatings, engine grease, tar, overripe apples... But it's slightly restrained by the very high alcohol content. We'll remedy that immediately: seawater, strong beer, sorrel and spinach, silt, mussels, oysters, tar... To be honest, it has a slight oil spill aspect to it. I know that's not a very attractive descriptor, but it's somewhat accurate
restaurant Palate
it knocks you flat instantly. Petrol, surgical spirit, acacia gum, bitters... With water: ah, here we are, a very nice Ardbeg, rather sweet, with smoked brown sugar (or something like that) and lots of tobacco, cough syrup, tar, and fireplace ashes
timer Finish
long, still quite sweet, caramelised, with a hint of liquorice... A more medicinal side again in the aftertaste
