Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
this one is unusually grassy, flinty and piny, it reminds me of some much older old style Highlanders from inactive casks (or when the spirit was doing all the talking). Pine needles, putty, grapefruit skin… It’s rather austere but very classy. With water: became even grassier. Always these notes of putty, almonds, marzipan…
restaurant Palate
very nervous attack, curiously Japanese. Isn’t this a Yamazaki? A Yoichi? I’m not joking. Some ginger, vanilla, crystallised oranges, chilli paste (just a pinhead) and just touches of pinesap and tobacco. This one came from an active cask for sure. With water: yes, it’s amazing how different from the nose this is. Rich, spicy, orangey, fruity… and Japanese indeed
timer Finish
long, clean, with quite some earl grey tea
