Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
very, very, indeed quite astonishing, almost kicking off with verbena liqueur (Verveine du Velay). Then it moves through a few other herbal and liqueur-like notes (yellow Chartreuse) before settling back into the usual suspects of an old CI—shells, ashes, seaweed, gherkins, toasted sesame oil and even olive oil, which has turned up in several recent drams. It’s really quite perfect so far, let’s say it. With water: almond oil, pistachio oil, olive oil, bitter almonds, candle wax. We like that
restaurant Palate
back comes the olive oil, lemon, ash and smoked fish. It’s razor-sharp, just a touch chalky. With water: magnificently salty and briny, full of peppery ashes and 99% cocoa dark chocolate. In short, the beast holds its ground
timer Finish
long, fresh, peppery, ashy, always incisive
