Tasting Notes
Colour
copper amber
air Nose
I doubt they would have bottled a wrecked octave, right. Shall we call this one 'medicinal walnuts'? It's really a strange combination, but it could really work, not too sure, water is needed… With water: more medicinal walnuts, soy sauce, lovage, Maggi, parsley, perhaps dried morels…
restaurant Palate
forget about malt whisky and imagine you're in Jerez, drinking some old very oloroso-y VORS that's got a little gunpowder and pine ashes. With water: bresaola, biltong, those kinds of meaty treats. Eating bits of pipe tobacco
timer Finish
long, still pretty huge. Smoke, walnuts, medicines, liquorice. A lot of pencils shavings in the aftertaste, which is typically 'octave' in my book
