Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a little 'sweeter' and a little more medicinal, more camphory, with metallic touches and whiffs of beach sand at low tide. I believe there is a little (good) OBE in action, these kinds of camphory notes give it away. The slightly metallic ones too. This is probably not a 9 years old anymore, after all shouldn't we call it a 9+23 years old?! With water: seawater and tincture of iodine, tiny touch of marrow and suet
restaurant Palate
it remained a little rough on the palate, peppery, hot, spicy, and quite fat. Sunflower oil… But lemons and grapefruits are magnificent. Chilli and ashes, 'that ashtray', kelp, seawater… Seriously, it's super perfect and I'm dead sure it improved over the years in glass. With water: lemon and brine in majesty. It keeps improving
timer Finish
sublime fattish fish oil and lemon liqueur, plus seawater
