Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

fudge, fudge, fudge and toffee, all over the place, then chocolate sauce, praline, Demerara sugar and a growing feeling of burnt caramel. The jury’s still out at this point. With water: more ginger, more curry, more cloves, more caramel and more straight gin

restaurant Palate

high oak extraction, as much as in the Whistle Pig. More caramel here, more bitterness as well, its not quite drinkable when not diluted. So, with water: difficult to control, water brings more tannins, tea, apple skin, cardboard…

timer Finish

quite long but this gingery cardboard from the oak is a little disturbing
