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?
