Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
what's striking at first nosing is this very peculiar combination of cigarette tobacco (say Camels) with furniture polish and tinned peaches. And then, there's more vanilla and wood smoke as well as a little sandalwood and white pepper. All this is very compact and tight! With water: it's the wood that comes out, sawdust, vanillin, mashed potatoes... A few farmy/earthy aromas too, a little vetiver and mint, antiseptic, oranges... While the peat remains pretty discreet
restaurant Palate
powerful, a little bitter perhaps, with a lot of chlorophyll, chewed wood, greens, heavy tea and bitter oranges. All this is very powerful, so I believe water's more than needed. With water: everything got bigger, including the peat. Also seasoned pineapples, Tai style (I imagine). Red Tai sauce, strong tea, liquorice, spiced maple syrup, concentrated milk... It's really spectacular
timer Finish
very long, tighter again, rather on salted butter caramel. The peat's more discreet again
