Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
hey hey, this is nice! Not extremely aromatic and probably quite ‘modern/bourbonny’ but the notes of vanilla, light honey and not too ripe bananas are very appealing. Also notes of yellow flowers, just a little smoke, pollen and grass. With water: a rather superb grassiness now, as well as quite some soot, ashes and struck matches (no sulphur!) Gunpowder, roasted chestnuts, toasts, walnuts…
restaurant Palate
extremely powerful and very fruity, pear spirit at still strength plus oranges and just a little pepper. Not quite enjoyable at such high strength but that’s to be expected. With water: same changes as on the nose, with even more grassy notes this time, quite some lemon appearing and various fruits, both ‘green’ and very ripe and juicy. Gooseberries, for example
timer Finish
long, grassy, fruity and peppery. Extremely peppery in fact, which is quite sudden. Capsicum and plantains
