air Nose
they’ve certainly pushed the envelope, so to speak, but surprisingly, it’s really not that bad—in fact, quite the opposite. The oloroso comes through with an almost graceful touch, without any hints of gas, rotten egg, aged truffle, or leek and cabbage soup, nor the scent of a rugby locker room post third half. It’s almost misleading advertising, wouldn’t you say? (we can joke too, ha-ha). In any case, a lovely oloroso profile with nuts, praline, tobacco, and coffee, along with a touch of liquorice wood—admittedly a bit excessive—and most notably, a cedar box of fifty large Cuban cigars. The kind the devil himself might smoke. With water: more cracked black pepper and bitter chocolate, but still no truly diabolical aromas
restaurant Palate
lots of walnut and tobacco, a bit over the top but surely appealing to many aficionados. Spicy marmalade, a saline touch, soy sauce, and a hint of leather. With water: excellent, by Beelzebub! Pepper, tobacco, juniper, and bitter almonds
timer Finish
long, fruitier with blood orange and a touch of Campari, then more pepper. That Campari note—now that’s devilish
