Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
what's most impressive is the freshness and sharpness, many green and citrus fruit qualities, grassiness, grapefruit, olive oil, chalk, fennel seed and waxed hessian. Also petrolic vibes, mineral oils, sea salt and this slowly unfurling, bone dry peat smoke note. A deep but almost crystalline smokiness. With water: animal fats, coal dust, cooking oils, sheep wool! Emphatic old-style territory and bursting with the impression of texture and fatness
restaurant Palate
a stunning arrival, again on bone dry, crisp peat smoke, sea salt, camphor, tiny hints of pickling brine, mineral oils, toolbox grease, waxes, old dried out herbal liqueurs, wee hints of mustard powder and again some aniseed and fennel notes. Amazing sharpness, power and freshness, a sense of control about it which is very compelling. With water: it's funny how the peat sort of disappears and leaves instead this wonderfully pure, saline and citrus combination, the sharpness of fruit acids, grapefruit, more chalk, aniseed, clay, camphor, lemon rind and shoe polish. Stunning distillate that carries flavour and texture in a totally thrilling and cohesive way
timer Finish
long, drying, very mineral, chalky and sooty with the peat smoke coming back in the aftertaste
