Colour: white wine. Nose: this one's pretty austere and rather all on medicinal notes, iodine, mercurochrome, gauze, bandages, then tons of chalk, limestone, plaster… A touch of olive and gherkin in the background. Not a bad sign… With water: gets even ueber-chalky. Chalk vodka? Would you say there is a market? Mouth (neat): very tight, salty and lemony, with hints of white cherries and almonds. Extremely pure, it seems… With water: boy does it swim well! Superb, pristine, katana-y ashes, lemon, chalk and seawater. This one does not cut you into halves, it cuts you into quarters, Kill-Bill-style. Finish: long and perfect, pure, chiselled and extremely vertical. Pretty mezcaly, in fact. Comments: this kind of stuff is why we're into whisky.
