Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

same ballpark, same kind of combo, but a little more on grilled meat, brake fluid, truffles, and gunpowder. Just a perfect example of a whisky that’s ‘sulphury’ while that would be some clear and absolute asset. Notes of very old Chambertin (or good sister that does not quite take care of herself – no apologies to The Vatican), the usual miso soup, and just a bouillon made with patience, care and passion in a typical bistrot. With water: lovey touches of model glue, then decadent soups and sauces

restaurant Palate

extremely punchy, this one does not do the catenaccio my friend. Blackberry jam and jelly, apricot cake, ginger tonic, leather, rubber, Seville oranges, and really a lot pepper teasing your tongue. It needs water. With water: it’s hard to tame it, you need a lot of water. Becomes unusually more brutal and rough, with touches of balsamico (naturalmente) and puréed chestnuts over some kind of coffee cream. Who said tiramisu? Not me!

timer Finish

long, meaty, on soups and roasted nuts, with chives and even garlic in the aftertaste. Also even more chestnut purée
