Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
less fruits, more grass, more stones. That makes it much less aromatic, more austere, and rather less ‘A’bunadh’ – as far as I can tell. What really comes out is artisan kirsch, as well as notes of cured ham. Some grassy tobacco too. With water: leather and ham! Old pipe tobacco! And few fruits, where are they?
restaurant Palate
we’re closer to #47, with this big orangey sweet olorosoness (while oloroso should not be sweet!), and notes of orange eau-de-vie, which is very singular – and which you’ll remember forever once you’ve tried some. Indeed, like several tropical fruits, they do not taste like the fruits at all once distilled, which is always very surprising. Anyway… With water: the fruits arrive – it as about time. Gingery oranges and dates covered with cloves powder (apologies to all foodistas)
timer Finish
long, spicy, relatively leathery
