Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a rather greasy, slightly phenolic start, with notes of orange marmalade and metal polish as well as some leather and dead leaves. Becomes more and more paraffiny, with hints of exhaust fumes as well as some kind of oil, between sunflower and grape pips. Becomes then much drier, malty and slightly cardboardy after a few minutes, the oranges having kind of vanished. Some character for sure, it’s quite peculiar. After ten minutes: became a little lactic, with also some chamomile. Needs time
restaurant Palate
suffers from the low ABV but otherwise it’s an interesting malt despite the weakish mouth feel. Maybe touches of mustard, ashes, hay jelly (seriously, that’s good stuff, try it if you can find some – or make some) and then bitter oranges, liquorice and strong honey. Touches of bitter oak
timer Finish
unexpectedly long, with more honey and chestnut puree and then a bitterer aftertaste
