Colour: pale white wine. Nose: it is one of those extremely chalky Mortlachs, full of ashes, chalk indeed, scoria, concrete dust, flints, gunpowder… Some porridge too. Rather for die-hard whisky enthusiasts that are (also) into ascetism, I would say. With water: some paraffin, plasticine, carbon dust, sourdough, grass juice… Mouth (neat): unusually salty, ueber-grassy, peppery, austere. Lemon skins. In short, more ascetism. With water: sweeter and fruitier but rather all on lemon drops and white peaches. All kinds of peppers roaring in the background. Finish: long, sharp, peppery and grassy. A little sugarcane syrup and limoncello in the aftertaste (hurray!) Comments: reminds me a bit here and there of the first record by La Monte Young that I ever bought. The main difference being that as far as I can remember, I never bought any other record by La Monte Young.
