Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw/gold
air Nose
classic briny, punchy, rounded but not too rounded, with a vegetal smoke (garden bonfire) and then grapefruits and almonds. Becomes sharper after a few minutes, more on lemon and maybe a little dill (or wild carrots?) Pretty vivid for its age but much to my liking
restaurant Palate
lemons and lemons plus lemons and… brine, with something slightly resinous in the background. Cider apples and mentholated cigarettes such as Kool (I’ve smoked some a very long time ago and this is the feeling I got – I hardly smoke thirty cigarettes and two cigars a month since a few years, just for fun!) But why am I telling you this? Why would you care?
timer Finish
long, lemony and smoky, with some tar in the aftertaste
