Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
rich amber
air Nose
this reminds me of some crazy bloodtubs that Bruichladdich were doing. High extraction/flavouring and true punch in your face, but sometimes you had miracles. Believe me or not, there is some kind of miracle happening here. Sure the Malaga feels (PX? Moscatel?) and so do some curry-like spices plus a lot of aniseed, but it would just click. I’m surprised I enjoy it a lot (am I not on the edge of schizophrenia?) With water: wonderful chocolate and wood smoke. Pine wood, barbecue, cassis…
restaurant Palate
well, this is excellent. I remember Zuidam/Millstone were having something similar. Creamy mouth feel and a lot of chocolate, sloe gin, raisins, bitter oranges, PX indeed, spicy oak (clove)… With water: it goes the distance! Spicy marmalade, raisins, a little syrup…
timer Finish
long, perhaps a tad too sweet now, but not to unbearable extents
