Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
bonbons coated with some kind of oak liqueur, bergamots, earl grey, powdered porcinis, paprika… It’s very unusual, although it would tend to fall back into line after a few minutes, with more cakes, marmalade, and cinnamon cake. Now the dried porcinis remain there, cowering in the shadows, together with some small juniper berries. Oh the vision…
restaurant Palate
I believe this one went too far; it’s become fragile and I think the oak has taken over. A lot of tea, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cardboard… It’s a bit bizarre that they would have bottled this one, unless it lost some power superfast in the bottle. You never know with large corks, although accidents are very rare in my book
timer Finish
short, tea-ish, cardboardy. And yet the spirit did not get opaque at all, it’s clear as daylight
