Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

this may sound stoopid but I think the OB gets more and more 'Clynelish' since it was launched seven or eight years ago. This is extremely mineral and flinty, with whiffs of flowers (peonies and violets), grass and paraffin. Then a little yeast, wet rocks, candle wax and touches of lemon squash. Greatly un-sexy, if you see what I mean, with a straight wood influence that's kept to the minimum. The whiffs of violets are a little new I think

restaurant Palate

starts biggish, peppery, fairly salty, with some brine, bitter oranges, olives, juniper and ginger. A little more vanilla and toasted oak after that, with a little more roundness

timer Finish

medium long and perfectly bitter and salty
