Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
this extremely typical profile that meshes old style malt whisky with old bottle effect. Metal and shoe polishes with mechanical oils, greasy toolbox rags, hessian and a rather light and fragrant peat with herbal shades. Getting rather sooty and also meaty with many meat stocks, bouillon, bone marrow and coal smoke. A style which just does not exist at all anywhere in today’s world as far as I’m aware. Sheep wool, mutton, suet, linseed oil, mushroom tea. Hypnotically fascinating stuff that you could nose and dissect for hours
restaurant Palate
it’s peatier than I recall, but perhaps time away from the bottle with a touch of air has done that. I’d also say it feels weightier than 43%. There’s a lot of dry herbs, wee tarry notes, black pepper, smoked teas and its extremely camphory with olive and cod-liver oils. Some more metallic touches which is this OBE coming through again. Peaty, savoury, roots, umami and full of turf, dried herbs, meat stocks and various broths and soups
timer Finish
good length, on metal polish, black pepper, wood spices, lanolin, camphor, tar, soot and leaf mulch. Some wonderfully soft and spicy peat smoke in the aftertaste
