Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
there are whiffs of raw alcohol at first nosing, but that should be normal at such young age and high strength. After that, quite some vanilla and touches of lilies of the valley, then more grains (porridge, barley) and apple compote. The whole is very straight when neat. With water: some interesting mustardy notes come through (dare I say wasabi?), as well as more vanilla and maple syrup. Also orange cake, biscuits, acacia honey… Nice nose, nice nose…
restaurant Palate
powerful and nervous, very estery, all on tinned pineapples, pear drops and touches of champagne. Then more vanilla and a little coconut. With water: even sweeter, smoother, creamier, very compact, with those nice mustardy notes once again as well as some barley sugar, bubblegum, tarte tatin and butter pears
timer Finish
long, a tad greener now. Green tea (dare I say macha?), vanilla, white pepper. Very clean aftertaste, fruitier again
