Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
another one that is quite extreme! Something like… smoked chocolate? There’s also quite some liquorice, straight smoke, strongly infused herbal tea, bandages, then tropical fruits such as passion fruits, then tar, another kind of smoke (bordering on exhaust fumes), raisins… This one goes in all directions, it’s really restless. With water: it’s the sherry that comes out first (and sour apples) but it really converges with the 10CS after that. Bandages, a little manure, even horse dung, that sometimes happens with extreme peat ‘n’ sherry combos
restaurant Palate
big, starting on more straight sherry, rather sweet, some ‘coal-like’ liquorice and something like smoked strawberry jam (I know, that does not exist). Once again, the combo is quite extreme, even if rather sweeter than other sherried ‘phroaigs. With water: gets rather more tannic and dry, with some oak (or pencil shavings) and much less sherry. Bitter herbal liqueur, blackcurrant leaves
timer Finish
long, more on salted liquorice. Leathery and tarry. Remainder of the fruitiness in the aftertaste (oranges)
