Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
a long way from the current 10 and 15, quite amazingly so really. This is a pure mash up of mineral, sunflower and lamp oils. Also suggestions of plaster, wet chalk, limestone and white flowers. Also an almost crystalline barley note running underneath. Utterly impeccable distillate. It has that highly austere, petrolic quality you often find in Cadenhead or SMWS bottlings from the early 90s, only this has something that many of those ones miss, which is class and depth of body to the distillate with these paraffin and waxy aspects. Probably due to old methods of production. With water: linens, camphor, ink and oily toolboxes. Also putty and more white flowers along with vase water and a greener note of crushed flower stems
restaurant Palate
pure and vividly on paraffin, lamp oil, hessians, clay, ointments and warm peppery notes of watercress and mustard powder. Powerful without a trace of peat, and once again the word that comes to mind is class. A true barley eau de vie. With water: waxier in texture and flavour, but still bone dry, pure and impeccably peppery. A mustardy vibe that nods towards old Banffs
timer Finish
long, warming, peppery and with more paraffin, waxes, hessian and ink
