Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
what’s comparatively striking with this one is its ‘resinousness’, with whiffs of fresh putty, lamp oil, ink and waxed paper that suggest OBE arising. Also hints of lemon and grapefruit peel, a little metal polish, some camphor, maybe a little antiseptic ala old Islay and notes of wet cloth (no dogs). A little ham after a few minutes as well as smoked salmon and touches of butter. Not exactly ‘old Longmorn’ in style because of these resinous and mineral notes but still beautiful
restaurant Palate
same feeling on the palate, with also something slightly rancid (butter?) but not repulsive at all, quite the opposite. I find the mouth feel surprisingly big and thanks to this waxiness, I could have mistaken it for an old Clynelish but this is more resinous, mineral and ‘inky’. Develops on lemon marmalade, marzipan, almond oil, lemon balm and a few wee spices such as cumin and cinnamon (just a little). As far as fruits are concerned, there are tangerines and lemons plus maybe hints of fresh hazelnuts. Too bad it tends to loose steam and drop after the rather big attack
timer Finish
medium long, more citrusy, with notes of high-end oolong in the aftertaste
