Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it's ex-first fill but it is a straighter, purer one, more medicinal than others, more on embrocations, bandages, iodine, then fish oils, creosote, mud, raw wool, even wet dogs (we owe you eternally, dogs!)… With water: even more medicinal. Mercurochrome. The 1st fill wood did not kill it
restaurant Palate
absolutely very good, rather resinous, vegetal (oregano), with wee chemical notes (nothing too serious, rather around plastic bags, or rather rubber bands) and a grassy smokiness. With water: well, there's a little more oaky sweetness, which ain't too god in my book, but it's well-behaved vanilla and coconut. Still, too bad…
timer Finish
rather long, a little sweet(ish)
