Tasting Notes
Colour
gold amber
air Nose
how big, how powerful and how aggressive! It’ll just burn your nostrils if you get your nose too close, which is a little strange since 57% is not that high (don’t tell my mum I said that). What I get beyond all this alcohol is rather a both gamy and chocolaty kind of oloroso sherry. Let’s try to tame it with water… With water: like smelling stale rainwater from a rusty oil barrel, and the old car of a forty-a-day man. We’re talking cigarettes. Other than that, it’s very fine, very different, and I especially love the old-style earthiness. I would never stop improving in fact, but it needs a lot of time. Is that old-school enough?
restaurant Palate
starts immensely ashy, very astringent, very aggressive again, but this time there’s also a sweetness that makes it more bearable. Triple-sec? Now, it remains harsh and difficult without water. With water: we won! The chocolate remains dry and drying but other than that, there’s some old rum, orange marmalade, kumquats, honeydew, pipe tobacco… All good, all much smoother. And it’s pretty clean for Glen Mhor
timer Finish
long, with more spices as often. Liquorice, cloves, cumin and tar
