Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
starts on a burst of ‘mineral’ peat (I know…), green melons and wet stones. Goes on with notes of coal and burning charcoal and gets then rather grassy (fermenting hay, newly cut grass.) Not an easy malt I’d say, perhaps to be ranked amongst what we sometimes call the ‘Jansenist malts.’ With water: it got even sharper and more austere. Distilled peat? Notes of fresh almonds, clams and oysters. Faint fruitiness coming through after quite some time (black cherries)
restaurant Palate
raw lemon juice and peat, extremely austere. Distilled lemons? This one will make any Ardbeg or Laphroaig taste like Lychee liqueur when compared with it. Well, you see what I mean. With water: same profile, only more approachable. Peat, lemons and almonds. Better and better
timer Finish
long, wonderfully almondy and peaty
