Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
plum sauce, chili jam and freeze-dried raspberries. Excuse me? It’s all getting tad strange around here. Also some hints of gingerbread, pork ramen broth and bandages. Feels both slightly closed and a little all over the place at the same time. Although, it’s not without its charms. Water probably quite essential I suspect. With water: gets slightly sawdusty with notes of hot sandpaper, white asparagus and printer toner. A bit strange really
restaurant Palate
very plummy and rich initially. Various red fruit jams, plum sauce, five spice, lightly tarry, some old ink wells and hints of turmeric and black pepper. Again rather meaty as well with lots of stocks and broths. The rum feels mercifully quiet. With water: a little more cohesive now, although the wood does feel rather modern and technological with these slightly hot, peppery and pencil shaving aspects. Some green pepper, cloves and pumpernickel bread
timer Finish
medium length and rather hot and prickly. Lots of chili heat, some jasmine tea and hessian
