Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark coppery amber
air Nose
it is a rather rounder one, with some sweet and aromatic pipe tobacco, some prunes, some mirabelle jam, a touch of sweet mustard and some Pim's by LU. Right, that's a little French biscuit, take genoise, add a layer of orange jelly, cover with chocolate, and voilà. With water: a little leather, some tobacco smoke, a drop of artichoke cordial, another one of mustard and honey sauce (which is actually a little coastal)
restaurant Palate
sure it is heavy, but this unusual honeyed sweetness mingled with ginger and turmeric seems to work, while the smoke isn't that massive. Or is it hiding somewhere? With water: perfect, water makes wonders. Love these earthy tones that remind me of the glorious old 15 yo 'golden jug'. It's got much more 'pure CI', with some brine, oysters, seawater, green walnuts…
timer Finish
very long, sweet and jammy when neat, much more coastal and briney when reduced
