Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
straight off the bat, it's peanut butter and roasted hazelnuts galore, with toasted wood chiming in behind, then the faintest murmurs of hydrocarbons—subtle, almost whispering. With water: the malt steps into the spotlight, unadorned and earthy, with a hint of cedarwood lending a Japanese temple kind of grace
restaurant Palate
rather brutal at first, but then, wham, you're clouted by a volley of hyper-acidic wee citrus fruits—yuzu, finger lime, even a touch of calamansi perhaps—cutting cleanly through the richness and keeping everything fabulously fresh. With water: the malt and the oak now get their chance to shine, though the latter’s starting to dry things out a tad
timer Finish
medium in length, well poised, with peanuts and citrus making a cheerful comeback, then a faint chocolatey afterglow that whispers of one of those old Chamonix orange biscuits—remember those little marvels?
