Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

reminiscent of a highly fortified amontillado, this dram overflows with nutty nuances of every kind, tinged with metallic notes—think old pennies and a well-worn coin purse. There’s a dash of mustard, polished leather, and a rich waft of tobacco, followed by an array of dried mushrooms such as Chinese black fungus, boletes, and morels. It’s decidedly austere, far from the typical soft sherry; one can easily picture a distillery manager handpicking such a barrel. With water: walnut wine, bitters like amaro or Cynar, and hints of liquorice wood make an appearance

restaurant Palate

fiercely potent, nearly aggressive, laden with burnt cake edges, an assortment of peppers, leather, horseradish, chilli, bitter chocolate, and deep tobacco. There’s even a nod to intensely bitter cordials. Was the distillery manager Italian in 2012? With water: it relaxes only slightly, showcasing bitter oranges and peppered mustard

timer Finish

long and rewarding, with a welcome touch of thyme honey infused in very dark tea
