Tasting Notes

Nose

Smoky pistachio and milk chocolate, roasted vegetables, condensed milk, a very herbal, dry style of smoke – like burnt sage, mint, and witch hazel.

Palate

A nice sweet start, tastes of brown sugar and pastry. Then comes in the witch hazel note, more pistachio, and the taste of meat cooked over a bonfire. There’s a deli meat like sweetness with the savoury, smoky notes you’d expect from Bresaola (salt dried beef). It gets really dry and nutty. Think about olive oil, walnuts, and olives. Very salty, texturally quite thick. Smoke wise, it doesn’t have an over the top style of smoke, I’d say this is more about peat than it is about smoke, if that makes sense. Earthy, dry, oily flavours and aromas rather than a smokiness.

Finish

Spicy, dry, and then smoky. The smokiness really steps out on the finish. It feels like there’s a cloud of the stuff moving around your mouth. The spice reminds me of coriander seeds, mustard seeds, Indian street food. Those cupboard spices are always on hand. The dryness comes from the smoky crescendo of the whisky. The sweetness disappears with a little touch of pistachio still running around the back of the tongue.
