Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it starts straight off on lemon balm water, green melon and freshly-mown grass, with a rather formidable austerity, almost frightening in nature. Very little development without water; perhaps just a whiff of cider apple, gooseberries-for-mackerel and clay. Austere like a charmingly old-fashioned librarian who chose to remain single, quite deliberately of course. With water: not a chance, it actually retreats further into clay and slate, although you do find a few touches of citrus peel and maybe a bit of underripe kiwi or white peach. I must add, we’re rather fond of this sort of stern elegance
restaurant Palate
maximum tension here, all on home-made limoncello aged in an earthenware jar, along with some herbs. It does rather slice you in half, to be honest… With water: and there we are, it finally opens up, on a monumental garden fruit salad drenched in honey and… malt whisky. The terracotta still lingers, by the way, it reminds me of those rare terracotta wine glasses some eccentric enthusiasts insist on using, never cleaned with anything other than pure water
timer Finish
long, more rustic, herbaceous, more on fruit peelings, though a bit of mango does make a slightly late appearance. Some pear as well
