Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

as expected, this is a fatter and richer style, more phenolic and bready at the same time, with these metallic notes that we enjoy so much (grandpa’s old toolbox), as well as a very dry fruitiness. I’m thinking rhubarb, or plantains… There’s also a rooty side, with some celeriac and perhaps a little manioc (as far as I can remember). The whole is pretty perfect

restaurant Palate

an amazing peppery, metallic, lemony and rooty arrival. A feeling of smoked apples – should you manage to smoke apples – and then bergamots and bitter oranges. There were also ‘unblended’ Glenlivets at 40 and 43% but this one’s clearly superior. Perfect touches of mint and lemongrass coming out after a few minutes, as well as a clearer peatiness

timer Finish

long, rich, superbly sooty, lemony, and mineral
