TASTING NOTES
COLOUR
intense golden yellow.
NOSE
refined, distinguished. The mineral first nose [chalk, basalt] reveals a very elegant peat and smoke. Also salty and iodine, the aroma palette overflows with fruity [pear, Mirabelle plum], vanilla and refreshingly mentholated notes. Allowed to breathe, aromas of white flowers [lilac, lily of the valley] and aromatic plants [sage, camomil] tactfully fill the air.
PALATE
svelte, lively. Just as mineral as the first nose, the attack focuses on malted barley. On the mid-palate, a relatively dry peat appears alongside flavours of toast and candied lemon. Gradually, a few grains of pepper and clove bring the flavour palette more power. At the end of the palate, a very beautiful malty bitterness closes the second stage of the tasting.
FINISH
long, rich. The milky start of the finish [coconut, rice pudding] is delicately honeyed [acacia], fruity [Mirabelle plum] and lemony.
