Tasting Notes

Colour

light gold

air Nose

by Jove, I've never found this many kinds of waxes and polishes in any whisky. Incredible nose, I'm also reminded of some very old vintages of white Château Margaux (Pavillon Blanc). An old shoe-shine box, really, plus marrow and many ueber-tertiary aromas, either floral or mineral. The waxiness is incredible, we're also reminded of any great old Sauternes that went dry. With water: quince jelly, shoe polish, Conolly leather polish, Barbour grease, almond oil and pistachio butter. Between us, give pistachio butter to all Russian soldiers and the war in Ukraine is over

restaurant Palate

it literally flattens the taster, being massively waxy and metallic. Perhaps a tad difficult at this stage. With water: no, it just needed a few drops of water. Ground nuts of all kinds, plus marrow and leek soup

timer Finish
