Another retro-futuristic label, I have to say I’m a total sucker for retro-futurism. Read old books or magazines about the future written by utter experts, and you’ll always have good laughs. Where are those individual flying scooters? This one’s been aged (or just finished?) in ex-peated Chichibu casks, so some very good recycling here. Chichibu too are saving the planet… Colour: white wine. Nose: luminous, clean, pristine, on soot, ashes and coal smoke. You do not need much peat to come up with a proper peater, do you. With water: ditto. And fresh celeriac and horseradish. Mouth (neat): I hate to say that I’m finding this extraordinary. This baby cuts you in halves with only lemons and peat. The thing is, the proportions are perfect. With water: game set and match. Holy featherless crow! A little manuka honey, that’s cool. Finish: long, incredibly precise and vertical, mineral, what we call blade-y. In that case that would be a katana, Kill Bill-style. Comments: to very young malt whisky what a proper tourbillon is to watchmaking. Oh forget…
