I'm lost, I don't know what this really is, while there are more pressing issues around, there. What we're actually waiting for is a 'Shrimp Croquette Cask', please do that. Colour: rich gold. Nose: less seaweed influence, more gingerbread, honey cakes, cigarette tobacco… With water: indeed, it is less extreme than the 'wakame'. Plywood, new cheap furniture, glues and varnishes, also rye bread and pumpernickel. That part is nicer for sure. Mouth (neat): huge, massive, flinty, rubbery, roasted… With water: back to breads and tobaccos. Molasses in the background. Finish: long, thickish, with a lot of gingerbread and a saltier aftertaste. Comments: this time the treatment has been a little subtler, but it is still a crazy heavyish concoction. It's just that I believe they've found something, it's not impossible that you could use 'new' seaweed instead of 'old' peat. We'll just need to talk a little bit about nitrosamines… In any case, with whisky and whiskey, which is exactly the same thing (vloggers!) much more fun should be around the corner. By the way, really love this unapologetic little monster.
