Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
rather more massive, drier, and more on malt and coffee, rather than chocolate and prunes. More earthiness, perhaps more herbs (parsley, umami, chives) and certainly more oak, with whiffs of pencil shavings. With water: gets more winey, nicely fermentary, and earthy. Always love these notes of chicken soup and beef stock as well
restaurant Palate
the recipe still works, and in a way, this is some kind of Scottish answer to the Pappys or else from across the Atlantic. Punchy, full of flavours, a tad oaky, with some rum, some dry and dried raisins, some clove, some caraway, and hints of juniper berries. And coffee plus chocolate, naturally, with a feeling of peppered Mars bar. Oh my… With water: swims very well. More sweet notes, marmalades, chutneys… Perhaps a little satay sauce as well?
timer Finish
long, with more pepper, ginger, and allspice
