pale gold
air Nose
ah yes, I remember well some of the Glenallachies I already tried, this one displays some of their aromas, that is to say something ‘chemical’. The main difference is that these ‘chemical’ notes (say concentrated lemon juice) are well integrated here, and even give the spirit much personality. Quite some grass as well, waxed papers, dry white wine (hectolitres of Riesling, serious!) It’s a very unusual malt for sure. Let’s see how it behaves under H2O. With water: it became grassier, more papery and almost closed. Faint hints of cheese (say… gouda)
restaurant Palate
funny, it became almost Rosebanky! A very oily mouth feel and a lemony profile that’s still very unusual. A bitterness in the background… Olive oil? With water: really good now. Lime juice, cactus juice, lemon oil, marzipan…
timer Finish
hello? Wooosh, this was short! Why not!
