A very amazing nose, between the malt and the plastic smell of inflatable baloons. Some smoke on the background as well.
The special and not really inviting nose is completely in contradiction with the palate, extraordinary complex, with nice citrus fruit notes, hints of haddock or hering, while the malty ansd smoky notes remain on the background together with the plastic sensation described earlier. Anyway, a very particular whisky, excellent, but with few in common with more "usual" whiskies.
The finish is on the same register as the mouth was, long with hints somewhere between acidity and smoke, rubber and malt. In short, far from an usual bottle, but this for the greatest pleasure of the papilla's.

Malt and citrus fruits at the first nose, developing quickly on pleasant fruity notes with just a touch of smoke.
In the palate, quite an acid impression developing slowly on sweeter notes without losing this touch of smoke. The mouth is very interesting, even if it is rather difficult to describe, as it is quite unusual.
The acid notes come back for the finish to disappear again after a few moments. This whisky is rather difficult to define but is clearly different from most other ones. I like it.
