Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
another one from the waxier vintages, with anything from candle wax to plasticine, but all that isn’t huge. Shall we call this a whispering wax? Also green apples again, leaves, moss, and those notes of butterscotch again. This one was nicely chiselled by time and a good cask. With water: the wax comes out more, but it’s still not huge. Car polish, leather polish
restaurant Palate
excellent, as expected. Melted candle wax blended with lemon juice, plus a pinhead of wasabi. Could anyone be against that? With water: swims like a champ. Gets more herbal, slightly mentholy, with a little eucalyptus and green tea
timer Finish
quite long, with a great balance between the herbal/fruity tones and the waxy side. Very classy
