Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this time it’s a rather oaky sherry that strikes first, a dry one, with hints of broken branches, walnuts and then a combination of some kind of smoky motor oil with bitter oranges and a little caramel. I also get some old leather polish and then more and more hay. Maybe even wee touches of manure. Another pretty wild one. A lot of ‘nice’ wine vinegar after fifteen minutes, or old barrels… With water: between earth and wine wine
restaurant Palate
rich, punchy, both a little acidic and vinous, with the spirits austere side in the background. Leafy and leathery as well, it’s an unusual style of sherried malt. Mustard. A super-fortified Manzanilla? With water: same feeling although the lemony side kept growing. Bitter lemon zests
timer Finish
rather long, citrusy, pleasantly green and much less vinous. Although some kind of big chenin may well be spotted here and there. Another very excellent one
