So, just finished clearing 14” of snow with the snowblower. 21 degrees and a sharp wind made it extra cold. note inside I thought I’d go for a dram and settled on this bottle.
Nose: still Some pineapple, but also stewed apricots. We have bee hives so definitely warm comb-honey. Green apples, pear, black tea, wine with botrytis, maybe a little leather and wet slate.
Taste: Honeydew melon, cardamom, poached pear and vanilla. Floral - elderflower, then sauternes, dark fruit. Then a faint bit of smoked meat if you searched your tongue for it. Then a wee bit of peat arose to go as quickly. Only problem is that as soon as you start to open it up it’s gone.
