Right, as if Belgium and The Netherlands would need even more seaweed than they already have. Joking aside, we loved other 'seaweedy' expressions by these unconventional whisky people. It's true that all we need is fun, beyond love, no? Nah, peace is #1. Colour: gold. Nose: but yes, charcoal and lit cigars, whelks, new plywood from Ikea's, pistachio oil (very vivid), green bananas and, well, many unidentified green things. New cloths too. With water: fresh-sawn pinewood and Woolite. Mouth (neat): they're all extraordinary, really. This one's rather medicinal, perhaps a little 'too much' at times, with a rubbery bitterness that really sits near the utter limits of Whiskydom. Could be that this one went too far, it's that weird that you cannot even really describe it using common vocabulary. Whisky by and for aliens? With water: not too sure. Sour creams, chlorophyl, moshi, broad beans, salt… This is terra incognita, really. Finish: long, very medicinal, sour, olive-y, with 'ideas' of Jamaican rum. Comments: I don't know, I really don't know. Well, what I know is that this is not boring at all. Reminds me of the Edgar-Broughton band. Go figure…
