Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

peonies and copper coins, I would say, then blood oranges and walnuts. A little hoisin, slivovitz, wee whiffs of struck matches, black raisins, garden peat, a little pipe tobacco from an old leather pouch, whiffs of old tools (in an old toolbox in an old garage)… Cherry stem tea… This is nice

restaurant Palate

naturally, this is very good, leafier and more leathery than your average sherried malt, more herbal too, with overripe gooseberries and many dried fruits (dates first, then raisins and figs). Keeps unfolding with charry liqueur (guignolet) and many smaller exotic herbal touches, sandalwood, nori, yuzu, and even something a little coastal. Honey-and-soy-glazed unagi? And why not?

timer Finish

rather long, leafier. Some herbal tea that you would have kept for too long in an old clay teapot – or something like that
