Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
different again, but rather closer to #47 than #48, that is to say rather fruitier, with more raisins, dried figs, the ‘mountain climber’s fruit mix’, rich muesli… There’s always this wee flinty side in the background, and then a mix of corn syrup and maple syrup. No, no ideas as for the proportions. Also cloves and oranges. So yes, it’s pretty Christmassy again. With water: as usual, gets meaty, leathery. Ham and moist pipe tobacco. Maybe a little Marmite (I’m sorry)
restaurant Palate
excellent, citrusy and peppery. Put a bag of raisins into your mixer. Add half a glass of Cointreau, some ginger, some cloves, some nutmeg, a small cup of ‘harsh’ coffee (the best robustas), and push the button. To your good health! With water: ah yes this works, with a minerality, some tobacco, ‘wild’ cigars, Seville oranges, nutmeg (very big), a touch of ginger liqueur (AKA the palate killer when neat)…
timer Finish
long, rather thick – goes down like oil – and spicy/orangey
