air Nose
you would almost believe they've added some 'old' Clynelish to this, for it is so sooty and petroly. The waxiness is insane too, the old greases, also the ripe garden fruits (apples), the rocks, the spearmint, the flints, the metal polish… Boy I may be wrecking this session. I mean, completely. With water: a little mead, old white wines, toolbox and old copper coins, more metal polis… You see
restaurant Palate
God's own malt. It's got everything, including some old Clynelish, I'm almost sure about that. We'd better sing you a song now… But not before we've mentioned beeswax, engine oil (a feeling of…), benzine (something reminiscent of…) and just chewing candles. When we were kids… With water: I had forgotten how good these were/are. Some seawater now, oysters, sorrel soup, soot, ashes…
timer Finish
endless, stunningly salty and honeyed. You could use this as some condiment, perhaps with caviar or lobster? Love the mustardy aftertaste too
