Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
rather big menthol, tealeaves, banana skins, then putty and lanoline. It then becomes fruitier and more approachable, with apricots and melons, and a profile that somewhat reminds me of Aberlour ex-bourbon. Candy apples, pollen, ripe apples... With water: there it is, we've broken it (I mean that in a good way) with even more fruits coming through. A fresh fruit salad, sweet honey, a bit of fresh mint – what a nice combination
restaurant Palate
really tight, with fresh fruits but also apple skins, bunches of grapes, green tea, gooseberries and rhubarb, then green pepper and a growing bitterness. With water: once again, there it is, the fruitiness takes the lead, with a bit of hops and white peaches. Only a few stems and leaves remain, like tea for example
timer Finish
medium length, quite balanced between herbs, leaves and orchard fruits. We're not exactly on mango or lychees. The aftertaste is more bitter
