Serge Valentin (90)

Colour: white wine.

Nose: very same profile as the Alambic, maybe just a tad more briny. More iodine. Other than that, same whisky (which wine did they treat the butt with???) With water: a tad farmier. Clean cow stable, dried kelp, oysters…

Mouth (neat): indeed, same whisky as the Alambic. Maybe a wee tad earthier (gentian roots) and more medicinal. Or maybe not. Beautiful notes of almonds and lime. Big PE! With water: big indeed, rawish, earthy, salty, tarry and extremely kippery. But where’s that wine?

Finish: long, salty. Seashells, bitter almonds. Rounder aftertaste (crystallised quinces).

Comments: textbook PE. Maybe a tad narrower than the Alambic.
