Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a different style, very elegant, with oily notes of sesame and hazelnut oil, wood varnish, fresh pistachios, and once again, banana skin. There’s a very light whiff of smoke (charcoal) and a touch of rhubarb. Hints of high-rye bourbon here and there, though that should fade with a splash of… With water: it becomes more compact but remains lovely, with notes of mushrooms, pine needles, green tea, and thyme…
restaurant Palate
rich, powerful, yet taut. Chlorophyll and lemon peel, kirsch, varnish, orgeat, ginger… You might imagine a touch of mizunara here, though that’s not certain. With water: still an oily texture, with grape seed oil and green banana. Those varnish touches persist, followed by hints of cumin and citrusy lemons
timer Finish
long, herbal, leaning towards heavily infused green tea. Green wood lingers in the aftertaste along with some smoke in the form of lapsang souchong, roasted teas like hojicha, and liquorice. A touch of blackcurrant bud and some tannins as well
