Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
this one is surprisingly varnishy, almost bourbonny in fact, with heavy notes of oak, vanilla and maple syrup. The varnish calms down after a while, leaving room for more polished wood, new furniture and roasted chestnuts. Blood oranges. I’d have never said this is Scotch, had tried this baby blind. Nice bourbon! ;-). With water: the oak comes out even more but it’s a nice one. Carpenter’s workshop, pencil shavings, antiques shop
restaurant Palate
same comment. A pleasant sweet wood decoction but you have to like that. Tons of vanilla, honey and eucalyptus drops and some earl grey tea. Then many spices such as pepper, cloves and cardamom plus a little mint. Peppered corn syrup. A little bubblegum. With water: more of the same, with the sweetness coming to the front (bubblegum, marshmallows, strawberry drops)
timer Finish
long but a tad less demonstrative. In other words, more relaxing ;-)
