Colour: pale gold. Nose: starts very citric, very lemony and very briny/coastal. Lemon-spread kippers and oysters. Stays on those simple yet pretty entrancing notes for a looong time, with no tarry burst, no new tyres and no brand new rubber boots… Maybe a little café latte. With water: even more brine and, yes, a little fresh tar. Mouth (neat): excellently nervous and citrusy, with a lot of salt right from the start and a very ‘kippery’ and almondy peatiness. Once again, the beauty comes from its simplicity (says the guy who keeps advertising complexity in whisky). With water: a delicious salty and citrusy profile, bordering on tequila + lemon + salt (the best of each). Finish: long and even saltier. You could almost use it instead of salt on your favourite dishes – a very valid excuse, don’t you think? Comments: one of the tireless chiselled PEs, with little oak influence. This could well spend 50 years in ‘wood’ and not lose steam…
