Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
more or less the opposite of the MoS, with much less vanilla and other American oak-by-products and rather more ‘Ordian’ notes such as dried white fruits (mostly pears and bananas), a lot of wax including paraffin, sunflower oil, a little liquorice wood, whiffs of coal smoke, grass… It’s not really sexy but I find this relative nakedness rather refreshing. With water: more coal smoke and wee hints of fruity cheese. Gruyère cheese?
restaurant Palate
sure it’s punchy and even kind of brutal but it’s also perfectly balanced between the raw power, the sweetness from the alcohol and the spirit’s waxiness. By the way, some sweet grass, does that exist? With water: excellent, more towards barbecued fruits, smoke and various jams as well as a little lemon
timer Finish
long and fresh. Crystallised fruits, angelica, lemon…
