Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

certainly the most complex of them all at first nosing, but it isn’t really bold. An interesting maltiness, then whiffs of burnt wood, wood smoke, cigar box and dark honey (also beeswax) as well as notes of orange marmalade and tamarind. Gets more and more complex, with more leathery notes and hints of cold tea. Also strawberry ganache but it’s globally drier than the Matusalem – and a tad less easy/commercial

restaurant Palate

yes! Sure there may be a little too much oak but the whole is perfectly concentrated, rich, nutty and minty. Aniseed, eucalyptus drops, sugared mocha, a little salt, bitter oranges and notes of oloroso sherry (what, sherry casks?)

timer Finish

long, ‘malty’, liquoricy
