Tasting Notes
Colour
light coffee
air Nose
typical sherried Yamazaki. Prunes, black raisins, tamarind, incense, cedar wood, and a touch of beef gravy, very discreet. Some parsley, perhaps. With water: more of all that, but it tends to become even meatier. Meat loafs with gravy, roasted pine nuts, and raisins
restaurant Palate
oh my god this is heavy and strong! Totally huge, almost out of all proportion. Some kind of meaty rum, perhaps. Or rather a blend of super-strong armagnac and super-strong tropics-aged Port Mourant. Or something like that. Not for the fainthearted ;-). With water: perfect leathery and prune-y meatiness. Pipe tobacco juice
timer Finish
long, with many more herbs. Thyme, rosemary, sage… and something that I enjoy mucho, and that’s not often to be found in whisky, ramson! Much more chocolate in the aftertaste
