Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep tawny amber
air Nose
raisins, tar liqueur, dark honeys, plum sauce, very weighted with camphor and salted treacle. A real sense of texture, like nosing molasses with many additional and complex impressions of salted liquorice, aniseed liqueur, walnut wine and smoked artichokes. Heavy but also a little playful at the same time, which makes it very entertaining. With water: full of bitter herbs and old school medicinal qualities, strong herbal teas, cloves, cheng pi orange peels and pure tar extract
restaurant Palate
very tarry, phenolic and drying, with an amazingly salty and umami savoury side. Also a lot of very beefy and gamey sherry qualities. Old leather, camphor, fir wood resins, beeswax, celery salty, cocktail bitters and artichoke liqueur. An old spirit that also converges with old rum in some ways as well, with these almost funky qualities. With water: get simpler now, really into herbal bitters, salt-baked vegetables, medicinal roots and tinctures and a very peppery, drying herbal peat
timer Finish
long, herbal bitters again, more artichoke, tar and herbal liqueurs and about a litre of Maggi!
