Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

harsh and grassy, ashy, almost brutal at first nosing, without much fruitiness or honeyness. So quite un-Glenlivet so far but water may help. Apple peelings. With water: much nicer, with some vibrant malty notes, raw barley, earth, wood smoke, touches of turpentine (nice in this context)… The best use of water!

restaurant Palate

ultra-raw kirschy, very eau-de-vie-ish, without an ounce of smoothness, not to mention honey or jam. Cough, cough… Also lot of grass again. With water: once again, water makes wonders even if this remains a little harsh. Tarty apples, white cherries, tangerines. That’s nice

timer Finish

quite long, very zesty. Pear and lemon drops as well as a little icing sugar
