Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

dry, slightly smoky, grassy, earthy, waxy, and faintly metallic, like many an antique malt from around or before WWII. Certainly more ‘Highlands’ than today, and what I especially adore is all this delicate earthiness, with moss, mushrooms, even damp lichen and bark, plus some wee herbs that smell of mint but that aren’t quite mint. There are many of them in Nature!

restaurant Palate

really powerful, rugged, with a coastal side that wasn’t uncommon, some salt, plenty of waxes, then bitter oranges and quite a spoonful of a dry herbal liqueur. Caraway, aniseed, gentian, bitter herbs… The mouth feel is very perfect, this baby’s beautifully textured

timer Finish

pretty long, just as coastal/briny, waxy, with a signature on hydrocarbons
