Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
quite harsh, very spirity, kirschy, a tad aggressive despite the vanilla that starts to coat the whole after a few seconds. It's also quite grassy and mineral, austere, porridgy… Not very easy, not very sexy, not very modern., although some nice whiffs of fern and fresh aromatic herbs start to appear after a good ten minutes (dill, coriander). With water: even more 'retro', with whiffs of wet cloth, raw wool, spicy mushrooms (rodopaxillus nudus - whatever) and pine nuts
restaurant Palate
very old-skool, mossy and bitter, sharply lemony as well, very grassy, with also bags of juniper berries and strong liquorice. Amalt unlike any others, quite extreme in its very own style. I don't think any active distillery makes this kind today. With water: more moss, more gin, sugarcane, peppermint, soot, wax, motor oil… Really sappy and phenolic
timer Finish
long, resinous, phenolic, with more tar and a more obvious smokiness. Maybe something a notch too chemical in the aftertaste (paint)
