Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
reddish amber
air Nose
amazing, and what contrast! It's difficult to explain but this is probably as thick and even heady at times as the 'Open Day', but this time there is no faulty notes, no sulphur, rather this majestic engine-y fruit combo, with all oils and waxes any human beings could think of, plus anything you could find in an old English garage. With a lot of engine oil on the floor ;-). Cements, paraffin, touch of grilled garlic perhaps, glutamate, miso, walnuts… So, this is beautiful. With water: rusty tools and old copper coins. Touch of camphor and eucalyptus. As expected
restaurant Palate
absolutely fantastic, if a little on cheese and sour old wines. Balsamico, gruyere, manzanilla, green walnuts and bitter almonds, crazy extreme manzanilla, miso soup, many fermented things… Well this is some rather bacterial, I mean funky whisky! With water: swims like a champ while getting greener, mossy, with some artichokes and eggplants. Old digestive herbal liqueur
timer Finish
very long and mostly on green walnuts, with a leathery touch in the aftertaste and a lot of dryness
