Tasting Notes
Colour
dark red amber
air Nose
this works a treat, orange marmalade and currants holding a smoky peat conference, resulting in one of the finest cough syrups I know. Figs in the background, leather, pipe tobacco, liquorice allsorts… With water: a few soapy notes appear; the saponification is fairly pronounced here. Paraffin, polish, modelling clay…
restaurant Palate
pure polish mingled with honey, salt and tar. It’s not uncommon, though not guaranteed, that oloroso should dance quite so gracefully with big peat. With water: pepper, tobacco, triple sec, old white wine, olives, pickled samphire…
timer Finish
long, very much in continuity. Lovely green pepper
