Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
starts with a superb combination of dark chocolate and prunes, with faint whiffs of old roses in the background. Goes on with notes of oxtail bouillon (or simply Oxo), thuja wood, roasted nuts, old balsamic vinegar, rancio and blackberry jam. All that is pretty elegant. Then more and more smoke and plasticine as well as notes of black pipe tobacco and pine sap. Also roasted pine nuts. Perfect balance and utter elegance here!
restaurant Palate
surprisingly fresh and fruity despite the obvious oakiness in the background. Cardamom, toffee and liqueur chocolates, then more plain dark chocolate, roasted pecans, our beloved nusswasser (walnut liqueur), quite some cinchona, Jägermeister, peppermint… I think it’s a perfect example of a whisky that’s got a huge wood impact but that remained balanced and, I must say, pleasant to drink
timer Finish
long, obviously drier but yet again, not excessively tannic or drying. Very nice signature on orange marmalade and pepper
