Tasting Notes

Colour

pale straw

air Nose

not unlike an old Cadenhead Dumpy in some ways, with this big mix of waxes, cooking oils and shoe polish, rather typical 1950s distillate style. But excellent too I would add, especially with these wee tingles of eucalyptus and mineral oil

restaurant Palate

the epitome of 'old style' which is waxes, green and white fruits, minerals, peppery warmth and various wee herbal and medicinal touches. Not complex particularly, but wonderfully flavoursome and clearly within this historic style

timer Finish

good length, quite tart and peppery now, with a little sharp acidity, flinty notes and white flowers
