Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
rather harsh, very grassy, flinty and grainy… Water may well be needed right from the start. With water (neat): well, this is quite spectacular. An immense grassiness, extremely nice, and various herbs such as rosemary, sage and bay leaves plus quite some wax and shoe polish. Very classy, old school whisky
restaurant Palate
rather smooth at the attack but then it just doesn’t stop growing bigger and more assertive. Raspberry eau-de-vie, ginger, cloves and orange liqueur. Yes, unusual! With water: it got truly wonderful! Perfect combination of ‘resinous’ fruits (orange zest, walnuts) with an oily waxiness and lots of spices, first ginger and then peppermint, plain black pepper and even a little cumin. Excellent, perfect balance
timer Finish
long, ending on peppered oranges and just a pinch of salt
