Tasting Notes

• Tasting Notes by Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

  Nose: Wood-fired barbecues with smouldering limes and chill-rubbed bacon on the grates. The limey notes build, bakced by seaspray saltiness. Fruity touches follow: grilled apples and pears, hints of lychee and singed Sevilla orange.

  Palate: A hit of sweet smoke is followed by a scuttle of coal dust and wood ash. The peat smoke becomes medicinal, with mint and menthol on top of gentle TCP and freshly unwrapped bandages. Tarry touches hide at the back, along with some of the meatiness from the nose.

  Finish: Charcoal and burning lime peel linger.
