Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

ha-ha, this is more austere and much more mineral than the 1982s. Leafier as well, grassier, farmier… And maybe also smokier. Garden bonfire, leaves, graphite oil… So far so good!

restaurant Palate

yes, even at a much lower ABV, this baby is far from being ridiculous after the big boys at cask strength. It’s a little saltier (tinned anchovies, brine) but also rather peatier, to the point where it could be mistaken for a 1980s Brora. Something slightly metallic in the background

timer Finish

rather long but there’s something slightly disappointing in the aftertaste, maybe something chemical (burnt vegetables, paper). Fish oil?
