Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
what a powerhouse! Bursts with heady notes of sweet sherry (raisins) and old grain (vanilla and coconut), all that with very high impact on your nostrils. It’s really spectacular but water is obligatory provided you’ll be needing your nose in the coming days. With water: some smoke comes out (yes I know it’s grain), fruitcake, sandalwood, nutmeg, touches of saffron… Beautiful
restaurant Palate
extremely powerful and sweet, reminding me of some high-strength American rye. Big coconut! With water – because yes water is obligatory: a bed of many fruits and many spices. Kumquats, ripe mangos, coconut and raisins plus cloves, cinnamon, ginger, Chinese anise and liquorice, the whole being very rich and creamy, it’s almost a liqueur (something reminds me Compass Box’s excellent Orangerie)
timer Finish
very long, rich, liqueurish. Some pepper and ginger in the aftertaste as well as touches of litchis
