Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
yes, it’s this very particular combination of fresh butter, vanilla and a fresh and zesty peat. Works very well, with perfect balance. The sherry isn’t too big, but cumin and cloves start to take control of the whole after a while. With water: beautiful greenness, apples, walnuts, a little pine resin or sap, putty, earth, gentian…
restaurant Palate
rich yet zesty, lemony, mineral, with just the right amount of sweetness from the sherry. Some brine as well, oyster juice, limejuice… All perfect. No cumin this time. With water: sweeter but not flatter, it’s still zesty and perfectly coastal. Very elegant peat
timer Finish
medium long, pure, clean, fresh, with the lemon still there in the aftertaste
