Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber/office coffee
air Nose
it's pretty unusual, reminding me of that old cocktail called 'Death in Paris' (La Mort à Paris) at first. That's 1/3 whisky, 1/3 gin and 1/3 pastis. But it's soon to move to better known pasture, with puréed chestnuts, cherry liqueur, peonies, orange blossom water, umeshu, Korean plum wine (Maesil-ju)… In short, all things we rather love. Doesn't a good glass of whisky always make you travel? With water: rubber, tyres, lacquer, plus all the rest that was already there
restaurant Palate
thick, sweet and spicier. Chocolate and dried damsons, slivovitz, molasses, pepper liqueur, marmalade, cinnamon, hoisin… With water: we tamed it. Glazed chestnuts, sweet mustard, gravy, triple-sec, sesame oil… The orangey liqueur would tend to try to take over, with is no bad news
timer Finish
long and curiously saltier. A touch of pastis indeed in the aftertaste. Note to self, use what's left in a good sauce, but don't tell anyone
