Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very typical. Bitter almonds, benzine, ant-rust paint, fresh marzipan, carbon paper, clams, floated wood, hessian and old tarry ropes, dunnage, plasticine, camphor, chlorophyll… There’s nothing not to like so far, and that’s an understatement. With a wee drop of water: this lovely feeling of carbolineum and engine oil, as well as new books. Say John Bolton’s latest
restaurant Palate
passion fruits and small white pineapples, some mentholy wood (pine?), more plasticine and paraffin, funny touches of sorrel and spinach that only come with older age, and those clams yet again. May you smoke clams and drizzle them with citron juice? With water: you do feel that the oak was getting bitterer and that this was bottled right on time. Phew! Very lovely anyway, with more chlorophyll, tea, lapsang souchong and the trademark ashes
timer Finish
rather long, rounder, yet tarry and plasticine-y. Lapsang souchong running the show, and rather less citrus than expected
