Nose
Well, this is very different. Less accessible, but more phenolic. Not an easy one. Smoking toffee hints at the fair wood influence, and the wax is still there but somewhat muted. Instead this is all quite austere and really doesn’t give much. There is a massing of smaller scents that are hard to pick up on. There are minerals and a bit of clean earthiness, cold air and wet stones. A tiny bit of honey.
Mouth/Palate
Huge body though. Thick and oily. Yes, full blown wax and grease, and hints of sweet fruit (can’t tell what) but also hot and tingling with capascium and black pepper. A lot going on: yes, woody tannins and dried out vanilla pods, yes some salt, yes mineral undercurrent. Not an easy one. All the while lots of sourness – I swear, sauerkraut! And lots of little herby green notes again maybe chives, maybe oregano or tarragon. Again really not an easy one, very complex. This one is somewhat beyond me.
Finish
Long, some wax lots of citrus-herby sourness again, but clean. Aside from all this, this is the only whisky I have had that turned completely milky with a bit of water. So milky I cannot see through the glass.
