straw
air Nose
ouch, a peated one. I mean, I had planned to try some peaty Benriachs later, but let’s try to make the best of it… So, it’s a rather crystalline peat, rather narrow, not very ‘coastal’, nor medicinal, nor even earthy/farmy, it’s just an ultra-clean peat-smokiness. Actually, what I also get is rather menthol and camphor, but not antiseptic. Then a little ‘clean’ tar and some lemon, always a winning combo. The jury’s still out, but this smells good. With water: needs no water. Okay, I tried and found more almond skin
restaurant Palate
once again, an ultra-clean, hyper-chiselled combination of lemon juice and straight peat smoke. Then more vanilla and lemon cake, as well as tinned peaches, Ardmore-style. In the background, a little pitch and engine oil, but it’s no fattish peater
timer Finish
quite long and much more dry, even a little acrid. Ashes
