Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
pow, and you’re dead! Just a bewildering mix of natural tar, nectars, soft, herbal peat smoke, crystallised orange peel, mead, old green Chartreuse and many tiny notes of dried flowers, juniper, exotic fruit teas, waxes, old leather, toolboxes, bouillon and various meat stocks and broths. This very umami / savoury / herbal profile that very old malts such as this seem to display in abundance. You really get the impression this is something to do with peat and the way it kind of crumbles in the bottle over the course of decades into myriad sub-component flavours and aromas. With water: only one or two drops and it becomes amazing, similar in profile but with the fruits elevated and in harmony with these other aspects. Dried and crystallised citrus and exotic fruits, herbal and smoked teas and a rather pristine and chiselled salinity
restaurant Palate
gah! Just immense! Like a smoothie made of leather and pure tar! Flinty, smoky minerals, meat broths mixed with kerosine, tarred old rope, camphor, pine resins, herbal-infused olive oil, slated liquorice and even wee touches of brine and deep, muscular peat smoke now. Utterly stunning! With water: holy shit! I’m sorry but this is becoming utterly incredible. Call the anti-maltoporn brigade, immediately if you don’t mind, although I know they’re busy at this time of year
timer Finish
endless, utterly hypnotic, poetically glorious, mind-blowing and peaty!
