Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

a rather heavy, tarry smoke, with lots of hessian, dunnage, smoked paprika, coal dust and spiced teas. Feels rather heavy and a little brutal in some ways, but it's a brute with undeniable charms. With water: sooty bandages, peat embers, graphite oil and anchovy paste. A little calmer now but still hefty stuff

restaurant Palate

piles in straight away with oily kippers, tarred rope, iodine, lemon juice, creosoted fence wood and camphor. A sharp saltiness that makes you think of black olive tapenade and the saltiest Dutch liquorice, with also a few chilli-infused game meats lurking in there. A beast! With water: all on tar extracts, burnt herbs, salted caramel, miso butter, camphor, pickled gherkins and a glimmer of salt-preserved fish. Sooty, sweet and herbal!

timer Finish

long, tarry, salty, peppery and with more umami, bouillon and squid ink
