Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
rather hot and grainy but the grain is sweet and nicely creamy. Things like buttery popcorn and coconut coming through. I also find gorse, some dried yellow flowers, wet tea leaves and some hints of sherry with this rather elegant gingery warmth. Can’t seem to decide whether it wants to be powerful or restrained. In time the sherry and sweeter tones really start to sing beautifully. With water: much grainier and more youthful with cereal sweetness, barley sugar and heather honey
restaurant Palate
nicely warming, peppery, spicy, gingery and again with this creamy coconut and buttery popcorn combo on display. Some cooking oils and things like ink and bouillon stock. With water: thick, creamy, gingery sherry, olive oil, brown bread and various vegetable stocks and broths. Even a hint of soy sauce
timer Finish
long, peppery, slightly drying, salty, leathery and umami
