Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
very much orange-and-walnuts-driven, which we tend to always like. You would also find notes of manzanilla tea (exactly, chamomile) and cigarette tobacco (we keep quoting Camel while we've last smoked a Camel around the year 1990), green earl grey tea (like it better than the regular back versions), and this je-ne-sais-quoi that reminds us of quasi-neighbours Dalmore. Must be the oranges… Awesome nose, well-balanced 'sherriness'
restaurant Palate
rather more rustic on the palate, leafy, with loads of green walnuts, a lot of nutmeg and cinnamon, green pepper, chewing tobacco, then rather ginger, chlorophyll, green peppercorns and lemon skin, including a bit of the bitterish 'white stuff'
timer Finish
long, more on fruit peeling and clove, plus always rather a lot of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Candied ginger, banana skin and marmalade in the aftertaste
