Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
quite punchy, starting on something vaguely medicinal (mercurochrome) and rather porridgy at the same time. There is some peat as well (although I wouldn’t say it’s a mislabelled Ledaig), notes of manure, bitter oranges, something like fruits starting to rot, new plastic, wet dog… Don’t Get me wrong, all that is quite pleasant in fact, just very different from what we’re used to. Notes of gin. Gets much peatier with time, with also quite some pepper, hints of mustard, ashes and shoe polish… On second thought, there may well be a little Ledaig in this one
restaurant Palate
well, this is extremely ‘different’ to say the least, not sure I’ll find what I need in my usual tasting vocabulary. Starts with lots of shampoo (just like when you forgot to close your mouth when taking a shower), plastic, waxed cardboard (or something like that)… And cologne (like when you forgot to close your mouth when….), glue (?)… Well, you got it, this palate is plain weird and, honestly, flawed. Funny but flawed
timer Finish
gets a little better once the shampoo is gone but… In short, if you ever put your hands on this one, you’ll have a lot of fun nosing it but please don’t let the liquid touch your lips. I’ even wondering if they didn’t let those frogs bathe in the whisky before bottling. 60 points (for the nose). Tobermory 33yo 1972/2006 (49.6%, Alambic Classique, cask #9721, 198 bottles)
