Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
intensely fruity and floral at first, full of tangerines, lavender, and violets, then develops a ‘gin’ side or even hints of young marc from Burgundy for the uninitiated taster. We’re not at all on a rye that smells of rye bread, if you see what I mean. With water: it moves much closer to cereal, in a very pronounced way. A subtle whiff of quality cologne
restaurant Palate
I like it, it’s very excessive but the kind of imbalance one enjoys. Loads of black pepper, pink pepper, mandarin zest, coriander seeds, and Earl Grey tea, with a sharper rye profile than on the nose but also hints of buckwheat and an ultra-fruity character. With water: this gets almost perfect, more earthy, grainy, and with a wider variety of fruits and roots. Gentian, pear… Even a curious saline touch. After all, the North Sea isn’t far away
timer Finish
not overly long but very clean and chiselled. In short, more ‘rye’
