Another bottling from Liquid Art’s 10th anniversary, and from a distillery I recently visited and am thrilled with. Apparently it was bottled in 2023 already, which surprised me. I would expect that anniversary bottlings are from the anniversary year. Of course, this doesn’t matter at all, but it surprised me.
The label is true to the brand name with a rather arty approach. I like these unique approaches, it makes the bottle stand out and adds a little bit to the experience.
Sniff:
It’s quite spirity with an interesting combination of farmy notes like wool and hay, and a slightly more mineral note too. Quill, and a vegetable like sulfuric note as well, but strangely, not in a bad way.
Sip:
The palate is light and green. As in, there’s spirit and moss and freshly cut grass. Some granny smith apples too. There is some sweetness from the alcohol and a whiff of oak. Quite a lot of barley, hay, and some vegetables.
Swallow:
The finish is more spirity than before. Lots of fresh alcohol with a bit of sweetness from it.
The spirity note is surprisingly light and crisp. The farmy side of it is a rather welcome addition.
85/100
