Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
absolutely massive sulphur, yet very, very strangely it has become rather pleasant, in any case extremely spectacular. One almost feels as though we had put our head inside an old factory chimney while sniffing improbable medicinal embrocations at the same time, before ending on a kiln-like side that rather inevitably makes us think of Longrow. Also cooked Brussels sprouts and artichokes… With water: the water softens it and allows dried and candied fruits to emerge. Hurrah
restaurant Palate
still as bizarre, still as entertaining. Enormous amounts of pepper, ashes, toothpaste, digestive herbal concoctions based on fumitory and all manner of increasingly peculiar roots… With water: once again the water smooths the whole and lets the fruits appear, but also plenty of roots and earthy notes here
timer Finish
very long, with rather dominant pepper and liquorice wood. Campari, gin and orange in the aftertaste
