Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

sherry and peat, hit or miss, rather hit in this case. Cigar and cigarette tobaccos, walnuts and pecans, leather (new bomber jacket from our friends in Pakistan), marmalade and fino sherry. More or less. With water: truffle oil, walnuts, leather, ginger and Maggi

restaurant Palate

really big and rather biting, with huge bags or raisins of all sorts and a touch of sulphurous stone (right, sulphur), as well as some tobacco again. Swedish menthol snuff. With water: raisins are having the upper hand. Figs to the rescue, while all this is getting a little thick

timer Finish

long and a little heavy and syrupy, because of all these raisins. Pepper in the aftertaste
