Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
extremely peaty – peatier than usually. Smoky and medicinal. Very pure and clean, it smells like the distillery. Peated malt. A few drops of water bring lots of notes of white fruits (apple, pear, white peaches…)
restaurant Palate
a bit simple (peat and white fruits) but punchy and rather well balanced. Very, very good! 88 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: 1967, the ultimate yéyé girl Jacqueline Taieb sings 7 heures du matin.mp3 with a great garage sound avant l'heure. Her only genuinely successful tune - too bad, she had 'the sound', don't you think?
