Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
we’re actually exceedingly close to the Chieftain’s, with that firm dry sherry profile, walnuts, mustard, dried leaves, garden bonfire smoke, paraffin, soot… Let’s see if a little water stirs things up. With water: hints of braised cabbage, perhaps a touch of sulphur… but indeed, it leans more and more towards spent matches
restaurant Palate
entirely and squarely in the Chieftain’s camp, only cranked up a notch, which manifests in a bolder, more pronounced plug tobacco character. Indeed. With water: bitter chocolate and gunpowder, heading towards salted truffle. In truth, not my favourite
timer Finish
long, very dry, with an assertive note of gunpowder that shifts into tar and leek. Over-infused lapsang souchong and a leathery new-shoe note in the aftertaste
