air Nose
the general profile is almost identical but I have the feeling that it’s the fruity side that’s now a notch louder, just a notch. A little more honey sauce as well, but it may all come from the higher ABV. Let’s try it with water (at approx 48%, very roughly): it’s the earthy side that comes out, but also more leather and even a slight feeling of vinegar. Well, the owners did a much better job at reducing this baby…

guess what, I think I liked the 46 or 48% versions better. I feel the higher strength makes it a little rough and a tad too eau-de-vie-ish. Water may help… With water: success this time, we’ve achieved to replicate the ‘48%’! Maybe there’s a little more mint, actually…
timer Finish
same as above, more or less
