Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
deep and brimming with this sense of coiled sinew and power. Wonderfully ‘wet’ notes of algae, frothy kelp, lemon slices in green tea, sandalwood, tar extract, fir liqueur and wisp peat smoke. Things like pickled capers, hessian and fresh grapefruit. Beautiful and deeply evocative. With water: becomes more fragrant. Lovely notes of fresh linens, drifting peat smoke, carbolic soap, wintergreen and various soft medicines
restaurant Palate
hugely powerful! Smoked paprika with dried seaweed, miso, tar, petrol, herbal mouthwash, petroleum jelly, dried tarragon, vapour rubs and iodine. Immense, punchy and wonderfully thick! With water: becomes softer but at the same time far thicker in texture, this sense of mouth-coating oiliness but with gentle flavours of lemon peel, chamomile and green teas, a waxy peatiness and more soft tarry and hessian notes
timer Finish
long, thickly oily, tarry, peaty and almost greasy with these notes of medical embrocations and smoked cooking oils
