air Nose
this is something else, we're in old wine territories, meaning that everything became tertiary, complex and, I have to say, unusual. First, it's quite flowery, and I find notes of many roses and peonies. Maybe even lilac. Then, there's this kind of resinous side that sits right between putty or plastictine on one side and eucalyptus and mint on the other side. It's a pretty rare feeling. Then there's a little benzoin (perhaps), fur (grandma's mink) and, bigger than that, old books and magazines. Add to that the much more common walnuts and apple peelings and you've got a pretty good picture of this unusual nose. Hopefully!
restaurant Palate
yeah, this is very unusual. The wood has taken over a bit but it's not a drying oak, or too much tea or cardboard, we're rather having many oils and other compounds that hint at pinesap or even carbolineum. I remember that Cadenhead's had some ultra-old Irish from long gone distilleries that also had this kind of profile, only much bigger. Also lavender drops - nothing to do with FWP in case you're wondering - and then orange marmalade and honeydew. The honeydew is getting bigger and bigger (you may call that for or pine honey)
timer Finish
of medium length, sappy, with this feeling of plasticine again
