Tasting Notes
Colour
rosewood
air Nose
you know you’ve got integration between peat and sherry when you get this very leathery walnut and salty oloroso quality alongside these wonderfully animalistic cured game meats, black tea, anthracite embers, natural tar and camphor. Then all these wee fruits begin to emerge: grapefruit, kumquat, blood orange marmalade and wee spices like star anise and cloves. Beautifully elegant and aromatic while retaining plenty of freshness. With water: gets earthier and meatier. Developing a nice note of Irish coffee, old leather and mothballs

what’s most impressive is the power that the sherry itself holds over the distillate. You really feel like you’ve just ingested a hefty mouthful of extremely leathery, walnutty, salty old VORS oloroso that’s dripping with rancio and old wine cellar must. Now, there’s still lots of these game meats, tannic black tea, pin-sharp salinity, smoked mussels and natural tar. Also some more subtle notes of bergamot, black olive tapenade and umami paste. With water: still the sherry dominates with this extremely walnutty, salty and rancio quality. But also notes of salted dark chocolate, miso, tar, iodine, dried kelp, jasmine tea and leather. Quite a few subtle notes of dark fruits such as date syrup and sultanas stewed in brandy
timer Finish
long and deeply earthy, leathery, salty and riddled with bitter herbal extracts, citrus pith, natural tar, old leather and soot
