Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
well now, we’re nearly whisked off to Jamaica, into the realm of great molasses-based pot still rums—acetone, olives, burnt sugar, a touch of carbon—the whole bundle lingering for a good thirty seconds before orchard fruits, wrapped in honey and mint, reclaim the stage. And here comes a sherry that leans more Amontillado, perhaps even Palo Cortado. With water: a merry dance of umami—fermented sauces, oyster, soy, malt extract, even a whiff of Viandox—and yes, kitchen sherry, though the proper kind
restaurant Palate
a powerful surge of lemon, seawater, varnish, paraffin, chestnut honey and tobacco, intense but coherent. With water: it rounds out beautifully, becoming even more honeyed and unctuous, with roasted chestnuts and all manner of brothy warmth. One can’t help but think of those outrageously flavourful Japanese instant noodles that cost next to nothing and deliver maximum joy
timer Finish
long, saline, resinous, waxy, and almost fermentary by the end, marvellous stuff
