Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
citrus is still in the frame but plays a supporting role this time, while roasted nuts—hazelnuts, pecans, peanuts, even a touch of walnut—take centre stage. It all sits beautifully, particularly with delicate herbal inflections of fennel and dill adding lift. With water: dare I say it evokes a proper artisanal pastis, perhaps from the Jura or deep Provence? There’s even something creamy about it, nose and all, plus scattered crumbs of those lovely Swiss cumin and anise biscuits
restaurant Palate
citrus makes a spirited comeback—zests, marmalades, preserves—joined by apricots and a whisper of pistachio, and suddenly we’re perched in Sicily, sipping some mysterious liqueur a local nonna keeps under lock and key. With water: no dramatic shifts, which is just as well—liquid citrus peel mingled with gentle spice, a dusting of ginger, turmeric and a dash of maraschino
timer Finish
medium in length but the maraschino starts to assert itself more firmly, adding a candied cherry gloss
