Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
rather light but very complex and delicate at first nosing, wit some spring water, dried angelica, liquorice… It gets then beautifully smoky (bonfire), with also some beeswax and heather. Very subtle indeed
restaurant Palate
sweet and light again but not lacking vivacity at all. Very nice notes of crystallised oranges, balsam, menthol and spearmint, with also some hot caramel and flower jelly. An old style Highland Park, all delicacy. Hints of liquorice, dried parsley and Provence herbs. Perhaps a tad flat but really beautiful, getting just slightly bitter towards the finish. 90 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - Did you know Jimi Hendrix 's home recordings? Here are two versions of Angel.mp3 one after the other. Just Jimi and his guitar... Very, very moving...
