Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a little more closed at first nosing and definitely more austere and maybe ‘simple’ even after a few minutes of breathing. Lemon, white chocolate and green tea. Extreme lemon after a moment (lime juice) and wet wool, car polish, cactus juice. Sharp like a blade actually... Let’s try it with a little water: it’s a whole horse stable now. Sweat, straw and old leather. Gets then back to lemon and polish
restaurant Palate
very punchy, compact, ‘focused’, lemony, smoky and almondy. Not complex but very good and satisfying now I must say. But let’s unleash more flavours using water... It got even more austere, ‘pleasantly’ cardboardy, dry, waxy, mineral, ashy, salty... Not the sexiest Port Ellen for sure
timer Finish
very long, on the same flavours, with a little more salt. Very good anyway but maybe a little reserved I’d say
