Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
crikey, it is the same whisky, just a tad toned down, perhaps a little more elegant and less exuberant. Less sulphur for sure, less grouse, less truffle, more oils, engine oil, cigars, pinewood smoke… With water: changes direction, uphill, towards Nuits-Saint-Georges. Old Bourgogne, ceps, civet cat, underwood, floorcloth, rabbit, cassis… In short, old pinot noir
restaurant Palate
very salty, with more olives this time, both green and black, and even an acetic side (balsamico) but it is 'too strong'. Mucho peppers and chillies. With water: but what a drop, once more. More green herbs this time, tobacco for sure, leather, cracked pepper, strong chilli sauce… This one is not for the faint-hearted, that's for sure
timer Finish
extremely long, very peppery. It's to be wondered if someone didn't add a bag of pepper at some point. Curiously, the aftertaste is a little gentler, even a notch 'sweet'. Sweet, imagine! Leathery and peppery signature
