Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

this one is much more acetic at first, almost vinegary (cider vinegar), with also some impressive notes of bière de garde. Then come seawater, beach sand, oysters, apples, tar, and mercurochrome. It evolves, but not very quickly. With water: impeccable, on linseed oil and fresh paint

restaurant Palate

fruitier but also more mentholated, there’s more of an ultra-mojito vibe in this one than in the DL finished in rum. Very good, actually, with lovely bitterness too. With water: notes of bitter almonds and a hint of espresso coffee arrive. Very nicely dry

timer Finish

long, with plenty of ashes this time. The aftertaste remains very salty
