Tasting Notes

Colour

orange. Yes, indeed

air Nose

it's alright, it leans a bit towards rum, with quite a bit of brown sugar, crème brûlée, nougat, muscovado sugar... As you've gathered, there aren't as many red fruits, almost none at all. On the other hand, the smoke is pretty, like oranges that have been barbecued. With water: a slightly sulphurous aspect now, a bit of town gas, aubergines, new leather, but also tarte tatin and dried seaweed on the beach

restaurant Palate

smoke, slightly burnt caramel, pepper and cloves, then a lot of juniper. A Dutch aspect, we might say. With water: leather, orange zest, pipe tobacco, marmalade, cumin

timer Finish

long, with almost identical notes, then more salt
