Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
it’s rare for an independent to get this close to an official bottling, in this case the 18yo, and it’s brimming with walnuts, polish, toffee and dark chocolate. In the background, a few wild mushrooms from our forests—let’s say boletes growing under fir trees. Indeed, there’s even a faint suggestion of pine needles. I’m very fond of this nose. With water: mint and chocolate! Is there a finer combination? The shoe polish returns as well
restaurant Palate
lovely bitterness, more amontillado than PX, though perhaps it was a fairly dry Pedro, Malaga seco style? Anyway, we like this, earthy tones, artichokes, walnuts, but also orange marmalade with whisky (obviously with whisky, S.). With water: oh, very good! It carries on with those earthy notes, evoking some sort of chocolate-glazed aubergine (agreed, if such a thing existed)
timer Finish
long, very chocolaty, with a touch of hay and dark tobacco. Bitter orange
