Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
very powerful, starting on huge notes of wine and distillation. Kirsch, maraschino, a little rubber and quite some meet sauce (or chicken bouillon for that matter.) Gets then flintier, with also quite some gunpowder and burnt matches as well as notes of plain oak and burnt sugar (right, caramel). With water: a big grassiness arises, with a lot of plain cut grass and infused green tea, and then more linseed oil and paraffin, even motor oil
restaurant Palate
very thick and very creamy, starting all on orange liqueur and herbs (coriander) and getting then more coffeeish. Another coffee-schnapps? With water: it got half sherried, half organic. Bitter oranges, strong coffee (a bit acidic) and peppercorn. Unusual
timer Finish
long, with many more spices now, including various peppers
