Tasting Notes

Colour

dark amber

air Nose

peat? You bet! This is as smoky and herbal as a garden bonfire, extremely phenolic, but also very cardboardy, metallic, ‘used’… That’s bad news, I hope this baby hasn’t got stale and oxidised. It’s true that the whisky isn’t limpid…

restaurant Palate

yeah, the arrival is weakish, and the strength low. We’re almost sipping some kind of very old dry sherry. Which, in a sense, is great, but this lack of oomph and power is a problem. Pu-erh tea

timer Finish

not that short, unexpectedly salty, nutty and herbal. Did a prankster fill this wee bottle with old manzanilla?
