Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
a true blend of smokes, not just peat. There’s peat, of course, but also resinous woods, beech, and even a hint of fuel oil. All this melds with the expected citrus and marmalade notes, resulting in something compact and no-frills, much like certain malts from the Kildalton shore. With water: smoked almonds and Lapsang Souchong, this time with a cloud of milk – is it allowed to have Lapsang Souchong with milk? Also, roasted pine nuts
restaurant Palate
this is both excellent and highly distinctive. Notes of coriander, pink grapefruit, gentian, mentholated cough drops, and a menthol-tobacco edge, though it’s hard to pinpoint how much of this comes from the virgin oak. Crucially, no plank notes—absolutely none—but rather sap buds. With water: one might think of an oriental pastry loaded with pistachios and orange blossom honey. A touch of smoked bacon as well
timer Finish
the peat makes a triumphant return, yet everything remains tightly integrated, never disjointed or chaotic. The citrus sings in the aftertaste, which also features more menthol and a touch of tar
