Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber with red hues
air Nose
this is almost plain coffee with a glassful of Cointreau thrown in. It’s also very chocolaty, toasted and somewhat aggressive, maybe because of the high ABV. Very oaky too (toasted). With water: bourbon! All the sweet/fruity notes come out, with a lot of tinned pineapple and sultanas but also rather extreme notes of toasted wood. I get very little sherry
restaurant Palate
extremely sweet, with bags of fructose, liquorice allsorts, pineapple drops, marshmallows and white chocolate, with something frankly rye-ish. Really spectacular but a tad too much for me. With water: even more so, it becomes almost liqueurish. It’s very good for sure but I guess liqueur makers could produce something similar without needing 37 years ;-)
timer Finish
medium long, on the same liqueurish/toasted notes
