Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
as white as water
air Nose
reminding me the Caperdonich but it’s too powerful to be nosed ‘like that’. Quite some smoke emerging, though… With water: very unusual ultra-leafy and very metallic peatiness (aluminium pan, stove), then pine resin and needles. Lots! The notes of pears, signs of youth, remain discreet in the background
restaurant Palate
the cleanest of them all, with a very nice earthy/rooty profile showing up just before the high alcohol floods everything. With water: gentler of course, clean, young, with some butter pears, gentian spirit (always a good sign!), a little smoked fish and the same notes of pine resin/cough drops as on the nose, albeit toned down
timer Finish
long, on Williams pears, cold ashes and fir tree buds liqueur like some crazy Alsatian make when nobody’s watching
