Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
in my meagre experience, peat and sherry can create either total disasters, or amazing wonders. It seems that this baby belongs to the latter category, with this blend of gunpowder and damp volcanic earth. Brake fluid, new tyres, burnt prunes, brand new leather jacket, Bakelite, cigars, beef soup… You get the picture, don’t you? With water: the distillate is retaliating, with seashells, seaweed, old balsamic vinegar, coal, more cigars…
restaurant Palate
heavy, thick, invasive, herbal, meaty, tarry… and totally huge. Beef jerky re-cooked in liquorice and pitch, or something like that. Parsley, chives, bone marrow… We haven’t seen such a monster since around the year 2005. With water: bitter oranges and mint, with one stock cube
timer Finish
extremely long. A black cigar dipped into Marmite. Apologies
