Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
well, I get peat smoke, which came unexpected. Or rather whiffs of lapsang souchong tea and barbecue. After that funny start, it all unfolds on jelly beans, apple juice and chicory, with touches of apricots and melons in the background as well as a little honeysuckle. With water: more liquorice and whiffs of burnt grass. Becomes much drier, even after having waited for a looong time
restaurant Palate
rather raw and kirschy, kind of unpolished despite the vanilla and maple syrup that may have come from the octave. Obvious notes of fruit eau-de-vie, not only kirsch in fact, also plums and pears, with even touches of youngish calvados. With water: the vanilla comes out more, as well as notes of tangerines and bergamots. Nicer!
timer Finish
medium long, all on garden fruits and sweets. Plum spirit again in the aftertaste, as well as a little cardboard
