Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
who cares if it’s the cask that did all the work? This is pretty magnificent, surprisingly smooth (ha, smooth!) and laden with notes of old polished wood, pipe tobacco, cedar wood, Seville oranges and then wet rocks and gravel. It’s got a slight cognacqy side, with touches of ripe peaches and maybe a little rancio. Pure loveliness and no ‘excesses’. With water: once again, more medicinal notes – beautiful ones. Natural camphor, turpentine, tincture of iodine… Then more fresh almonds
restaurant Palate
high extraction and high power, which makes it a little difficult and Stroh-ish (do you know Austria’s Stroh 80? Quite an adventure ;-)) With water: much in line with the nose, highly herbal and medicinal. Some kind of complex albeit quite bitter cough syrup
timer Finish
long, all on the same notes even if quite unexpectedly, the aftertaste is rather rounder and sweeter. Yes, Chartreuse-y
