Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine, almost white
air Nose
it’s not easy to get something at first nosing, because of the high strength. Maybe a little barley sugar? Marzipan? Vicks Vaporub? Not much else but one can feel that something’s happening ‘underneath’. Water please! With water: wonderful. It’s still got these grainy/barleyish notes from youth, but all these oysters, walnuts, lemons, sardines (yes), black olives and cigar ashes make it, well, wonderful. Very classy spirit
restaurant Palate
will burn your lips and your throat but it’s worth it – almost. One of the crispest attacks I’ve ever encountered. Lime juice, fresh walnuts, oysters and truckloads of ashes, with a blend of icing sugar and salt playing with the tip of your tongue. Ah, yes, it IS full bodied ;-). With water: same, really, which is good news. I kept adding water until it reached around 30% and it never quite changed
timer Finish
long, very briny, salty. Tinned anchovies?
