Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it reeks of Pedro, which is cool, because many PX finishes do not; they would rather gear towards slightly unpleasant leafy notes in my experience. So, this is nice, on fine raisins, old sweet quality wines, chestnut honey, butter caramel and just touches of humus (that walk in the woods after the rain etc.) Pretty awesome. With water: honey-glazed meat (pork) and a little pine resin. Honey lemon beef jerky. That’s very fine
restaurant Palate
indeed this is good, rather more marked by wood this time (oak chips) but with just the right sweetness from the PX. Raisins, honey, Jaffa cakes, caramelised brazil nuts, Fruit Loops, maple syrup, praline and so on. With water: no too sure this time, some green spices coming out, stems, leaves, ginger tonic… Are we dead sure this wasn’t a finishing?
timer Finish
rather long, very spicy and green when reduced, pretty excellent when neat. Really a lot of pepper in the aftertaste in both cases, even chilli sauce, tabasco, sriracha hot sauce
